Antrim Hurling

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

Folks the players have sorted it themselves and there was nothing in this story.

We should do the same.

Roll on Sats game. Hopefully it's a good one as I'm for heading over to it.

As far as I know we'll have a full contingent to pick from. I'd think it'll be something similar to last years game. So, batten down the hatches!

Just checked county website - so thats a league decider Loughiel Vs Cushendall on Saturday?
Gotta fancy the Shamrocks given the fact that their season is still going - perhaps the Dall might be seeking to make up any bad blood?
With all our attention on the county final it hasnt really been noticed.

Are Ballygalget relegated JC?

HS- do you expect your lads to complete a procession Vs Carey Faughs or is there life in this game?

well not yet officially.


We're up in ballycastle this weekend and need a win which is hard to see.

According to a cran man i was talking to on Saturday st johns didn't want to play them last weekend even  though the crans were desperate for a game before the championship and he's alleging that the johnnies even managed to get our game vrs portaferry as they believed the ports would have put out a reserve team and that would have been an unfair advantage to us. I'd be disgusted in the antrim ccc if the latter part was true.

Excellent!! Lol

I think it's safe to make a prediction that a sharper match fit loughiel will beat a stale dall - which will lead to the red card being produced in the closing stages as some bad blood boils!

Interesting point Johnny cool and I know the johnnies have been no strangers to pulling strings behind the scenes with the county.

Who played weaker teams last week in the All county leagues?

[btdtgtt]

Surely not MR2! A club played a weakened side in a league game! No way! Would never happen at st galls would it?

No L Watson.

What does evryone think of that?

[btdtgtt]

Liam who?

I see the paper mentions the new manager trying to convince hippy donnelly to come back?
I would have thought he would be back without any problems given a new set-up is in place?

Never, well none that I was involved in

So which is it?
- No, never
OR
- Yes, but I wasnt invovled.

In truth I suspect all teams have been guilty at some stage.
Some deliberately, and other becasue they genuinely couldnt get players our for meaningless fixtures.
Its unfortuante that this can affect league ups/downs but I'm not sure anything can be done about it - its the same in any sport's leagues.
