Antrim Hurling

Yer man McQuillan was handy with a stick.

Maybe some of you Dall ones will remember one time around the mid 90's there was a senior game in Cushendun v yourselves (may have been reserve) on a wet evening when after about 5 mins all hell broke loose and the game was abandoned.

Men were thumping each other with sticks it was like a war!

I remember a 7 aside game between the 2 that was abandoned after 5 mins, old man graham was refereeing it.

That may have been it--was it a tournament or just those 2 teams at Cushendun?

We played Cushendun in a "friendly" about 10 years ago and it lasted 10 minutes before it was abandoned.

Was that match played at home. I think I remember calling out a bit late to watch it on a really lovely summers evening and by the time I got there it had been abandoned. I seem to remember Shane McDonnell being up to his oxters in Cushendun men at one stage!

Barry was year above me in school so would be 36/37 now.

Jeasus, sorry I missed that, Glensmen knocking the crap out of each other.   Ah well parish rivalry!

black & amber, why you think im bitter???  cos i dont paint the rosy picture of the town or cos the truth hurts!!  you said it yourself they get a win in the c'ship then the whole banjo cut loose on the old ale & the numbers dwindle for training.not the actions of champions in wait. i can assure you i have no axe with the town or any other team. if a team is good i'll say it as i've shown in my posts. call it as you see it,thats what im doing & sorry if you dont like it but b'castle are quite simply not good enough to win big ears & my feeling is that the shammrocks will cut loose in the semi & do a real number on them. also Shane mc donnell couldn't have been playing in the abandoned c'dall v c'dun game as he played for glenarriffe all his days.maybe you meant one of the cousins raymond,conrad or randal who did transfer to c'dun in the '90's???

That reminds me of the time we used to run a tournament over the first week of the July holidays with games during the week nights and then we'd normally have a pretty strong team up from the south on the saturday and sunday to play whatever teams made it through the week.
We made a monumental mistake of letting the Johnnies and Sarsfields play each other not too long after the whole hullabaloo in Sarsfields which led to a few lads transferring to the Johnnies, sometime in the mid to late 80's as I think Sean McGuinness resigned from Antrim hurling manager over it.

The game had barely started when one of the Sarsfields subs said something or other and before you know it they were all at it hammer and tongs, whailing each other with hurls. Game was abandoned after five minutes, no referee's report or FA. I'd never seen anything like it since. Utter madness that no one was badly injured.

Still no confirmation of dates/times/venues for matches in the senior hurling championship on the county site a week after the last game was played. What a shambles!

Do you think if your man stopped using his thesaurus to wrongly use the word "demagoguery" on the county guestbook, (folks down here can't believe he gets away with what he does on an official county site),  he/she might actually post something on there of some relevance to people once in a while?

It looks completely awful on the county.  I've a few friends in Armagh who log on all the time and laugh about it.  Do they not realize that its the official county site and therefore reflects all of us?  On no other county website do the officialdom reply in such ways.  Cheeky would be an understatement.  Its arrogant, its pompous and its completely dis-empowering. 

Surely there is some way of stopping that (in a democratic way?).

The Cats were super today, a joy to watch!

Your friends in Armagh aren't the only ones. I know folks in several counties south of the Boyne who log in every other evening for a gander at his verbosity.

It's a poor reflection on our poor county.
