Antrim Hurling

[Milltown Row2]

Pity the Shamrocks back line is so poor, we could have used some of them !!

Would the Loughgiel FB not make himself available? He looked ok when knocking the ball about the Corrigan pitch at half time, or could he not be arsed this year?

Neil McGarry, did he not play FB this year?

Yep, I'd have thought he would have needed to have been selected for the county first before he'd be able to play for them. Plus he's injured atm, ankle ligaments.  Anyway, he's getting married soon, he's more important things to worry about.

That's a strange one, he'd played for the county before and had a great year, strange that ankle problem seemed ok when running about corrigan. But if injured nowt can be done. As for getting married!!! WTF, even more reason to get out of the house lol

He got hurt v Ballycran in the semi final of the Ulster League.

Getting personal lads, getting personal.  Can you not take a little bit of the jesting? Are you all beyond reproach also? Well not in my opinion. 

This reminds me why I don't buy the Andytown news, full of arm chair generals and the like and those starting to believe their own press. The ironic thing is this though , some of you honestly believe you are making a difference for the betterment and development of Antrim hurling.

"whats good for the goose" is also good for "The Duck" 

Burke, McGourty or Graffin at full back , are you for real? Not one of them are competent/strong or competitive under a high dropping ball.  We really need somebody of the calibre of young Donnelly.

You're some boy for the old debate. Your man's injured so I don't agree with any of your suggestions on who replaces him - we'll just play someone like him.

McGarry would have been perfect so pity. McAuley did full back at minor's if I mind rightly but he does a great job at wing half back to maybe robbing the half back line if we did that. Robbing corner back with Graffin mind.

[Jesusjones]

Graffin isn't competent or strong under a high ball? Get a grip, he is as good as anyone in Ulster under the dropping ball. Next he'll be saying Mc Manus doesn't score enough or DD Quinn isn't a good shot stopper. What a clampet.

[BlackandAmber]

just noticed on the county website that the under 21 squad has a training session in Glenariff on Saturday at 5-30. Cushendall play Dunloy at 5 on Saturday is that why the Antrim squad has only 1 Dall and 2 Dunloy players in it?  As well this is more shyte from the county with taking the seniors away first and then makin the uder 21s train the evening before club league games.

[optimus cheese]

Why is Martin Scullion not with the county this year? One of Loughgiel's stand-outs all year and could certainly put in a fine shift at FB

[the colonel]

Our players at U21 County training wasn't regular but maybe they just didn't fancy them. Would have thought they will watch the games at some stage. Would think we would have a few more capable. As said before our game was changed to suit Dunloy so it wasn't the county who set up the clash to be fair.

Our games against St Johns are now at 2pm & 3.30pm on Sunday.

Graffin has been very good at Full Back over the last couple of weeks. Quality hurler that has proved he can play anywhere across the back 6. From what is there, he's the best option

It is a pity but he made himself unavailable this year. He's been brilliant for us over the last couple of years.

Two years on the road is difficult enough, I've no problems with any lad in taking a break or opting out of County teams. Ya need to love hurling and when you are going non stop it can be a bad thing.

Predictions

McQuillan GAC Ballycastle v Ballycran            Castle
Dunloy v St.Patricks, Portaferry                     Dunloy
Ballygalget v Loughgiel Shamrocks                 Galget
Ruairí Óg v St John's GAC                              Ruairi Og

County Antrim Post Division 2HL
Naomh Gall v Tir Na nOg Randalstown                    Galls       
O`Donovan Rossa GAC v Gort na Móna                  Rossa
Lamh Dhearg v Cathaoir an Rí                               Lamhs 
Glenariff Ossians v Na Sairseil/Patrick Sarsfields     Glenariff (by a big margin)

I see there is no referee assigned for St Galls v Tir Na Og - Does this mean the game is possibly rescheduled?
