Living in Derry according to Gaelic life report (account needed to view). Still playing with Cushendall.

He's a top fella and plays with a smile on his face, quality stick man and can create some magic with a cheeky pass.

He'd benefit most teams in Ulster and this will certainly benefit both him and Cushendall, fair play Christy, hope it works out

Alex O'Boyle from Glenariffe is playing his county hurling for Armagh.

Sean duffin played for Tyrone - dunno if he still does. Cj did for a bit too. A few players spreading their wings a bit.

Had a st endas lad at armagh last year too

One in Fermanagh too but he is a Fermanagh guy.

Disappointing result against Down. The team out wasn't too bad either. We're missing quite a few this year - we will get stronger but not *that* much.

Its not an overly strong team Tommy, and we have better than that to come into the game.

This year certainly in the league we have a free shot.. Maintaining McCarthy cup status will be the priority..

Nets will be an issue to resolve with Elliot away for the year, he's been a big part of that defence and will be missed, a difficult position to fill

Looked like a strong enough Down team in the first half, but they emptied the bench from half time on and would be happy enough with the win all in.

Strong as in senior players yes but youve a lot of talent to bring in. Cambpell Burke and Walsh. I just fear for us up top this year. Weve lost Keelans 2 or 3 points and Neils contribution too. Paul Boyle hopefully can do well in place of Keelan and Conor McCann to hopefully be a ball winner

Sean is away to Australia so not with Tyrone this year coming.

Big, big loss for TNN for the coming season in both codes.

Great hurler. Cursed his name a few times over the last year with a few good performances. One of the matches he came on as a second half sub and scored 10 points.

Dubs ahead by 10 at HT. Looking the much better team ATM.

Upandover · January 14, 2024, 02:47:23 PM

Dubs head and shoulders above antrim today, tough campaigns ahead without mcmanus and the dunloy lads.

Antrim puckouts a real issue today, defensively very poor also.

New keeper and some new players to bed in..

Dublin have plenty of depth, Antrim not so much..

But good work going on with the under 21's few injuries to contend with.

Unfortunately didn't get the Westmeath game last week as that's our level of just above them recently
