Here goes my shots again for the weekend;

Antrim V Laois - Antrim by about 4
I think the win over Westmeath gives our lads the edge of confidence going into the game. For me Laois will be carrying one or two players of sub standard ability and we have a greater scoring threat to overcome their home advantage.

Ballygalget V Cdall - Dall
Ballycran V Loughgiel - Shams
Portaferry V Dunloy - Dunloy

3 really tough and interesting trips for the top3 here!
I am picking the 3 Antrim teams but none of these games would be a surprise if the Ards boys turned them over.

Ballycastle V St Johns - Town to win.
Glenarrife V Rossa
I will be at this if the weather holds up. Think Oisins recent win and Rossa's bad start plus disastrous record on the road makes me plump for Oisins by 4 or 5.

Sarsfields to beat Carey
St Galls to beat Lamh Dearg
Randalstwon to beat Gort
Armoy / StPauls - could see a draw here!

Anyone else care to venture a prediction?

As much as Cushendall's county men will be exerted by the Laois game, our half dozen county men will also be facing Derry in the Christy Ring on saturday as well, less travelling though, and will also be suitably knackered. Cushendall may be in a better position to rest their contingent as the Ulster league semi-final in Hannahstown showed. We've no real strength in depth, and IMO we've a few on the starting 15 who are being carried, but there's no one better, so we are where we are.

As long as we play with a bit of heart and wit, we'll give the Dall a game, but one sadly we'll fall short on in the end.

With the weather conditions it probably suited, but on principle could Matty Donnelly (and and other panelists) not have played 5 days before this game and if he got an knock, bring in a replacement. I think this attitude of county manangement (as its been for as long as I can remember) cancelling games over the head of one or two is totally crazy, never mind totally disrespectful and showing a real lack of confidence in the remaining panelists.

I prefer to call it county mis managment.
And yes, you are 100% right on this.
Fed up with it year in year out then we wonder why we dont progress.

we won't be close to full strength as there's a wedding and a stag this weekend.

Haha.   Don't think it's a forcing match.      Anyone any idea who "an other" is.   IMO shay or young Clarke deserve a chance in the corner from the start.    Heard it is a late call up.   

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

I agree. He played well when he came on against Westmeath and u would say he will fill that empty spot.

Anyone here going to the game tomorrow night? Think i will be heading Down. Hopefully the weather holds up like today!

Why wasn't it called off then?

Losing your touch!

Just send the reserves 



DR - Dont like you chances, check the forecast for tomorrow, could be a total mud bath of a match.

Where has young Conor McCann (Creggan) gone to. Is he not on the hurling panel this year. was a great prospect and a regular on the team 2 years ago.
