Antrim Hurling

[Seamroga in exile]

Lets get real, there isn't as team in the county that wouldn't have PJ on their team, end off.... I've watched him played against him and referee'd him long enough to know he's a quality player. If he wasn't part of Clooney Gaels' they'd not be where they are today....

erm, I don't think Cushendall would have.

Why?

Have we such a wealth of talent in Antrim that we should omit PJ, catch a grip wud ya ??

I never said at any stage he should be omitted. I said he was a decent player. I did say there were players his equal (and some) who aren't in the squad for various reasons. Benny, Saul and Nigel all of whom play at a higher level. Read the debate instead of steaming in with opinions.

Higher level doesn't equal better player. They play with better players week after week probably makes them look better than they maybe are.

[hurlingstick]

Agreed but playing at a higher level develops players.

He won't be afforded space at senior level but a lot of that will be down to what happens outfield, i.e ability of out field players playing decent ball in..... Certain teams at yoyo level always had a player that if you gave him ball he'd do damage... Tosh did it for years for Glenariffe. Again another player who'd get on any Antrim team (except Cushendall, for obvious reasons 😆)

Antrim down three points at half time. Wexford player sent of straight red card for pulling back with the hurl.
Wexford 1 * 12 Antrim 1 * 9

Sure would county level not b a notch or two above div 1 club! He's held his own there the past few years. League games that the top teams don't really take seriously mightn't develop too many.

[hurlingstick]

Division one league games will be better for player development than division 2 league games. Coming up against Neal Mcauley, Conor Mckinley, Martin Scullion, James Campbell, Aaron Graffin etc. Will push him on. He will develop more against these quality defenders than many of the defenders he has been use to playing against in division 2. Can't argue with you in regards to his development at inter County level. It is definitely a step up again.

We hit the post in injury time and came back from seven down so while disappointing to lose sounded like a decent performance.

[imtommygunn]

We always do terribly against Limerick

Offaly and Laois the big games.

[WTF u on about?]

Well done Rossa

[WTF u on about?]

County left that behind them today. All square and Wexford lose a man then they hit last 3 scores of half?! Then a whole half against 14? They can't keep losing these tight games and say it was a good performance there comes a time when they have to take their chances and punish teams.

[Bonamargy]

Excellent performance from Antrim today against a very fancied Wexford. Well done to Rossa on their All Ireland success. Their next championship match is against us in the Antrim 1/4 final.
