Antrim Hurling

[SaffronSports]

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

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.

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

[SaffronSports]

I think the target this season has to be to not take too far of a step back. While we would love to be looking up there's been too much change to the starting 15 and maintaining our status would be very good this year.

Don't think the leagues are changing too much so it's a free shot this year

Dublin given serious space there. Has micheal Bradley pulled the plug to, he's our best winter hurler.

[saffman]

Pretty sure Michael Bradley is recovering from a shoulder injury from last year but very much expected to play this year - anyone know different?

How far is Ciaran Clarke from returning?

Is Conor Johnston still on the panel this year?

Nigel Elliott? Has he walked too? If so disappointing having only rejoined last year.

I hope we haven't lost too much experience and replaced totally with younger guys. Div 1 needs a fair bit of steel that i feel comes with age

[SaffronSports]

The ones I know for definite are Ryan Elliott, Joe Maskey, Keelan Molloy and Eoin O'Neill. Add Neil to that and it's a big loss. Hopefully, the other ones mentioned here just have wee niggles and will be back for the league as that's a big lot of lads to do without.

Surprised to see Coby off the frees. Was he carrying an injury or was never getting the full game so started mcmullan who they had planned 70mins?

I assume just testing him for down the road, if Coby can't play or isn't going well on them. Just another option I'm guessing. Now is the time to try these things when it doesent really matter.

[SaffronSports]

Coby definitely took 3 or 4 in the first half as I was wondering (again) about the action he uses every time. Early on it seemed Rian took a few close in ones and Coby the ones further out as he was playing much deeper.

James McNaughton is also a decent long range free taker

I thought Seaan and Nigel were heading away as well.

Might be wrong about Seaan but pretty sure I read that Nigel is definitely travelling again.

[saffron123]

Ryan Elliott and the GF travelling for the full year, Keelan M & Seaan E both heading to Australia. Nigel heading shortly to work in Dubai.
