Antrim Hurling

[btdtgtt]

Just a thought - 100% fact that our county hurlers have been training (fair enough jerry). But because of the training ban the guys don't get fed and can't claim expenses. So there - a rule brought in to help players end up doing the exact opposite? No rest, and at least if it was official they would get expenses. In the name of good god that's a good'un for the gpa, Croke park blazers and county board! And players! Will it get noticed at convention?

That's  not the case if they have been underperforming Skull. Carryduff have won the Down minor championship this year so ther has been a steady decline of the Down teams, but Portaferry have always managed to beat us handy every year, decent team to.

I don't understand what youre saying there milltown

It could be argued that Carryduff winning minor is a sign that the south belfast clubs with the numbers they have are making good progress as much as I'm not saying that the ards clubs may have dipped. I fully expect Bredagh and/or Carryduff to be competing for senior titles in the next 10 years. Lots of kids and lots of interested coaches will bring this about.

none of the two belfast teams will compete in down  shc in 10 yrs time both nowhere near or likely to be senior in that time having watched them both portaferry and ballygalget rebuilding with ypunger guys the crans young but year or two on down the line

Going by Ballycran's performance in the Ulster final this year and Ballygalget's in the semi last year there's a fair bit of rebuilding needed yet. I don't really buy into this 'rebuilding' fad'. it seems to be the mantra of poor teams (in any sport) who are basically admitting that they've been ignoring their youth development, club facilities etc. We were as guilty of it as anyone in the last 15 years or so until the last 7 -8 years. Dunloy are going through the same at the minute.

Surely all this 'rebuilding' is a get out clause for clubs indolence and poor management

well im sure if ye were asked a few years back you might have had a different view on it but sure nothing like a bit of success ta get the preachers out

I take it you missed the part of the post where I said we were as guilty as anyone of it over the last 15 years or so.

I fixed you're code there for you too Waffler.

Is AG the guy that played full forward against Cushendall in the Championship?

Yep. Was that a brother up there with him?

Aye Ciaran scored a couple of goals and points.

If Aidso decides to pull in behind the hurlers this year then it will seriously boost our club hurling team first and foremost. Antrim will get an athlete in their team. Someone with fitness levels at a higher rate than what would be there normally. In both games against Dunloy he fielded some ball and played well throughout. He carried this on in the Dall game also.

From a club view i hope he does. He's a great big lad who is a pleasure to play in the same team as and manage.

Seems your memory of is hurling skills is a bit like your memory of Bredagh and their players and current team

Gallagher is physical and aggressive, Herron isn't aggressive.

Well I'm hoping he's better than them, are you trying to get job with them or.something, bound to he time for mcguinness band wagon to move on.  I am sure your mate would throw a name on nomination form Mr2.  Haven't seen him hurling for while is he the Gaga fellow hurled around half forwards at stage.

Colm has done rightly with Bredagh, a good lad also. I've no notion of getting back into management for a while yet, life consuming job.

I will be at something next year in gaa, and no doubt will get a few posts on it.

Gaga is the older one

Did he not play left half forward? Think youre mixing him up with Anton something or other

Did Sean McGuinness take bredagh, then his son Colm take over? Is this a paid position?
