Antrim Hurling

[Milltown Row2]

clubs are very suspicious of teams asking for rescheduling. points are very important this time of the season.  having managed many teams within the club I'm very reluctant of rescheduling, always backfires, always

having attended the official opening of Dunloy's new Sports Academy last night and seen it in use last week i have to say it a tribute to everyone involved, fantastic arena. 

We all whinge about some of the ills of the GAA but without question no other amatuer organisation could enable a small rural unit like Dunloy to have such facilities

is there any photos of the new facilities? i doubt we will be in Dunloy this year, or any year soon the way things are going

Fair plat to them. A fair few hurlers will come out of those facilities.

Good luck on Sunday to Antrim.

Problem child Liam Watson is the sort of maverick that every team needs. His rebel attitude means that he has no fear of any opponent. I just hope that Dinny has him well and truely focussed for the game.

Af feck, truely embarrassing to see him drop like a tonne of bricks after being brushed by the Cork no 3.

Focus 9 out of 10.
Discipline 3 out of 10.

Game went as I thought it would have done. Antrim stuck with cork for the first half but the last couple of mins of first half killed us.

Unfortunately saw the 2 sides of Watson. Great game he had and proved a lot of people wrong and I include myself in that with his ability on the big day. The other side of him was ridiculous and should have walked after a couple of mins. I wonder if the CCCC will ask the ref to look at Watsons first challenge?

Is Watson the hurling version of Kevin McGourty?

In defence of Watson i think that Cadogan flicked him in the balls beforehand.

After watching the incident on the tv it looked like a poke to the ribs

At first glance I thought Watson was just acting the tr**p, but having seen the replay its clear that Cadogan struck first.  The dive was pathetic though.  Gardiner was as bad in the sending off incident.

Some good performances yesterday, with Donnelly standing out as well as Delargy and Watson.  McCrory got through a lot of ball aswell, with Johnny Campbell solid too.  McManus hit the frees well, but didn't really contribute anything from play and a few of the Antrim forwards were anonymous, with O'Connell doing very little and I don't remember seeing McCann with the ball apart from one catch.

Yeah I would agree with Hippy probably being Antrims top performer, thought SD was shakey and his distribution of the ball is poor. Why does he insist on running with the ball when he has time and space to hit it?

I thought that we struggled at midfield most, Kenny and CN both has excellent games and must have chipped in with 5 - 6 points between them.

In general Antrim performed well, few wee things that need tweaked but again I think it is from not hurling at this level all the time that mean those wee mistakes creep in when the pressure is on.
