All Ireland Club Hurling Championship

[omagh_gael]

Fair play to the shamrocks. A historic effort. What would Liam Watson be like playing with one of the so called big guns?!

Spectacular win for Loughgiel! 4-13 to 0-17

Spectacular result for hurling. Like a dream come true. Once in a generation it seems to happen.

[Maguire01]

Great game and brilliant result. The football has a lot to live up to!

Brillant by Loughgeil.  This should be a big boost to hurling in Ulster and Antrim in particular.

Last time Loughgiel won the AI (early 80s) it was also vs a team from Offaly well done to them & hard luck to Coolderry.

[ONeill]

Brilliant.

Great day for NI.

[Minder]

Great stuff from Loughgiel, they have some support down.

[Square Ball]

that was some display from the Antrim boys, is anyone left in Loughiel as Minder said they had some support.

Last time Antrim got to the AIHF they beat Offaly as well


But what a fantastic result for hurling up north

Garrycastle would be the icing on the cake!

Well done loughiel. A great result for all of ulster hurling but most of all for themselves. Hard luck to coolderry. They've brought hope and credit to offaly hurling this year. On the day you can't concede 4-13 and expect to win but such is sporting life. They'll go again but today belongs to the shamrocks , fittingly enough.

[Bord na Mona man]

Great win for Loughgiel. Coolderry imploded in defence in the first half. They needed a more mobile player to pick up Watson from the start, Coolderry, like Offaly teams tend to do, didn't win enough primary possession. Loughgiel, especially their half back line caught a power of high ball.

A few times in the second half Coolderry looked like mounting a comeback, but crucially they rarely managed to break through and create goal chances.
They were forced to do a lot of sideways running and soloing as they just didn't have enough power players up front.

Unfortunately Offaly teams yet again prove to be best opposition for sides wanting to make a breakthrough.

 Liam Watson scored 3-7 today, that must be one of the best individual displays in All Ireland final?

That's how he rolls. Awesome

That free, 5 men to beat, blasted into the far top corner in an All Ireland Final --unbelievable

Watson scored a total of 3-23 against the Munster and Leinster champions - and he doesn't play for Antrim - he is a bit of a mysterious character - surely someone in Antrim can talk him into plating in the Leinster championship. Although from what I'm told he's not an easy man to get to know.
