Antrim Hurling

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Given that fullen Gaels are in north east England (hardly a hurling stronghold) and breadagh are one of the only clubs in south belfast / north down - would it not be fair to say that breadagh have a bigger catchment!

The bookies seem to agree anyway with breadagh 8/15 favs.

Stronger looking antrim team altho I think these games are glorified challenge games - meaningless.
Too many of them on the fixture list - does any team just get beaten and be put out anymore?
There seems to be an endless stream of backdoors and play-offs!
Then we complain about burnout!

Bredagh have a massive catchment, they will be a massive force in years to come. But they shouldnt be in this competition, as one of their players said today in Irish News " we went from intermediate to senior to junior" . They should have been in the intermediate competition but good luck to them, Fullen Gaels to win by 2 points

And let's not forget that the brit champs beat the county Antrim senior champs one year. They're never to be underestimated.

Forgive my ignorance?

Cushendall beaten by St Gabriel's, around 1991 I think.

Very good HS!
Anything happening at Rossa hurlers?

And less of that MR2!
Maybe my memory is going with age!
Is Bellew up and running?

I am too young to remember it but I heard a story about it a couple of years ago.

Apparently, shortly after that happened, there was a bit of banter between Ballycastle and Cushendall ones one night and the Cushendall folk were giving the Town lads a bit of stick about "letting the Orangemen walk through yer toon". A Ballycastle man replied, "Aye but the Brits ne'er beat us on the hurling field".

Thought it was a goodun.

Sure the Brits are current All Ireland senior champions

it was Desmonds in '92. Now a defunct club. They merged with Glen rovers to form Kilburn Gaels.

They've had some decent players in their ranks.

[Tony Baloney]

Bredagh 1-4 1-12 Fullen Gaels.

[Kid Twist]

is that a result?

[Tony Baloney]

is that a result?

Yes and St. Gabriel's won their football semi.

At the rate the economy is going it is hardly surprising.

[Seamroga in exile]

Antrim were 11-6 down, they now lead 12-11.

Won by a point after ET. Good response after last week
