Antrim Hurling

[btdtgtt]

You would have to fancy Thurles to beat that Offaly crowd - Oulart must be kicking themselves.
St Thomas won't be easy for Loughiel before then however - and given the standard they set themselves I am sure the Shamrocks will not be leaving any stone unturned for the semi-final.
I dont think venue will be confirmed until close to the time tho?

I'd be very surprised if it's not Parnell, has been the venue for a lot of the games recently with Ulster teams in the Hurling. Doubt Clones will get the nod or Mullingar. And besides I always stop over for a few pints, so Dublin is the better venue

For that very reason I could see it being Mullingar.

Winter hurling doesn't suit many players, whoever adapts/copes well with the weather can hold a big advantage over pedegree. Being used to the tight frosts round the midlands is sticking to the Offaly boys so far anyway.

You should have known it wasnt a good gig when Speedy didnt snap it up first
Sure you never left the centre circle, any wonder you were froze!!

Well going by the bookies.  Thurles is big favorites to win out right and st Thomas is 2nd favorites.   Happy enough with that to be honest.  Nothing expected of our lads outside of our own club and a few others in the county.

.....and the bookies haven't got it wrong by a country mile in the past have they  . There're a bit like ulster GAA writers when it comes to club hurling.

I think loughgiel are the team to beat based on the form they showed when they got out of ulster last year and them being as hungry as ever

+1 to all of that especially Ulster GAA Writers!

I no they have    But the fact that know1 outside our own is giving us much hope,will hopefully do what it done last year

No real surprise there, they'd want to mind themselves.. that will KK at it till Feb anyway

Just shows the ignorance and the lack of respect that Antrim hurling has regardless of loughgiel winning it last year. A bit pathetic considering not one of the other 3 have ever been this far.
I remember dunloy being 10-1 v mount sion! And yes we all made a fortune in the bookies in millingar that day! Lol
