Antrim Hurling

[Minder]

Ballycastle did lose 4 finals in the 90's, beat a good Rossa team in one of the semi finals

They were home and hosed against the Dall one year, 1992 I think, second of the Dalls three in a row, until they shit on the nest badly. Were in the final in 1993 again, Dall again, wasn't anywhere near as close.

We beat Ballycastle in 3 finals in the 90's. In 1992 it took a great comeback inspired by Danny Mc Naughton(RIP) to get us home, 1993 we won by 10 and in 1996 by 6.

In fairness that comeback was inspired as much by the Town keeper.

Wouldnt matter, the wheels always come off the wagon for the town at the semi final stage. Dont think this current crop are any different.

i

And they've done just that fromwhat I here. Ructions at training about boyos boozing at the fair -maybe auld stock bitter cnut that he sounds was talking to them-  and 2 gone awol.  Too busy argueing about who was there to train.

A Bluff??

try phoning the local butchers and see if you can get a player

any other player might have belived you. Not him

I hope your right but its what I got told. Him and another boy are in Spain. I'll be back in the town tomorrow. I might buy some meat.

wel belive me. If every player that lines out for town wants it as bad as the lad in question.   Were in for a serious game!!  That being said. Dont think they do

Minder I have a video of the 1992 final in the house, granted Paul Smyth dropped a long free into the net in the second half but Danny scored 1-7 that day. 0-3 from play in the second half. Quite simply without the performances of him, Sambo, Paddy Walsh and Mark Mc Cambridge we were beat that day.

96 was also a win inspired by Danny. Brother over the team and i think two sons in it. If ever a team deserved to win it, surely it was that year

[Jesusjones]

96 was a year we really had to win it for Danny who passed away earlier in the season. His son Ruairi played full forward in the semi against Cushendun and the final against Ballycastle scoring 0-4 from play. A fitting tribute to his dad.

What the hell happened to Cushendun?

Remember them in a senior final 10 years ago and now they're Junior?

[Jesusjones]

Its sad to see what has happened to Cushendun, when Dunloy were put out in 1996 they should have went on to win the championship that year but they made a mess of the semi final against ourselves and the rest is history. They had great hurlers like the 2 grahams, dan kinney, aidan mort, emmett o hara and connleth mc neill and should have won at least 1 championship. Relegated from division 3 this year. sad sad state of affairs. Just goes to show you can never take your eye off the ball with the juveniles.

With smaller family sizes, the national trust status is really where the problems lie isn't it?

[NAG1]

Yeah must be difficult to get any sort of team out in the population catchment so small

Cracking hurler.  Retired from the game much to early imo.

I think your correct. Doing a good bit of coaching the last few years thankfully
