Antrim Hurling

[Last Man]

Typo on the program (well done on that btw)

5 for St Endas was John McGoldrick

They certainly gave it a good lash. They did the most of the attacking but the wide tally came back to bite them. Was a great championship match

Fell short today but just. Another year at IHC will do us no harm. 15 decent today of his left was decent but a lesson for us on the line plus the standard of ball we put forward was woefully high and and played into their  hands. But hey the pressure of the day on young mens shoulders we had some dig at it and we are not finished yet! Congrats to Biddies on grinding out a result, best of luck to them going forward.

I will have to watch the dvd back to appreciate what went down but will put it out there that all the value in the championship for the neutral this year was in IHC? Trend emerging?

What age is Liam Cassley?

[hurlingstick]

Reality hits home .......London, Carlow, Armagh, Kildare, Westmeath.....Our senior hurling fixtures next year.

[theskull1]

With Westmeath and Carlow ahead of us going on recent form

Is what it is.

30

Absolutely.

Westmeath & Carlow would be disappointed to lose to us - we're are not even the big hitter in this group.

We can call it the new order or our new level - we can complain they aren't the most glamorous of ties for supporters - but we cannot say this is not the level of our players.

Antrim hurling is in the league it belongs and I don't say that as a slight or as criticism - its just true.

Upward and onward, lets hope our set up knuckles down and get on with it to win the group.

Liam Cassley is one of the casualties/beneficiaries of Ballymena withdrawing from the county leagues.  Decent footballer as well.

It's not new is the thing. It's where we've been for quite a while. It just seems a lot didn't realise or want to accept it.

Think our issue is we always considered ourselves a step above everything else in Ulster and now we find ourselves in the same division as Armagh.

Eh yous were bate by Meath x2 who are a division below so don't act like you haven't already hit rock bottom

What does the x2 mean?

[Hectic]

It is pretty galling all the same that we are at the same level as Armagh.

We're very much aware that we've hit a low. Thanks for your insightful contribution though.

Well here is hoping for a clean slate approach from the management team, any one good enough to play be given the opportunity to commit.

If they are good enough and commit to the panel then they play and if they don't commit then fair enough cheerio.

I would prefer 15 players on the panel who are committed to each other and the team, than 30 who pick and chose. At least then I can go along and support them regardless of the outcome knowing that they are giving off their best to the county set up.
