Antrim Hurling

[Fairhead]

Best of luck to our u21's tonight vs St. Johns. Should be two evenly matched teams and hopefully it will be a cracking game.

Championships are not easy won and they are even harder to retain. Loughgiel were the last team to retain the u21 title, in fact they won at least 4 in a row in the early 2000's. Before that I can only remember Dunloy retaining it in the 80's when the competition was in its infancy.

Wouldn't read anything in to last Sunday's league game, for one it wasn't championship and two the u21 players on both teams im sure weren't going at full pelt.

One last thing I hope we are talking about the game and the players performance tomorrow and not the antics of a member of the St Johns management team.

Fancy Ballycastle to win tonight.

We hadn't the strongest U21 side this year and were still within touching distance of St Johns in the last few minutes.  Balycastle have a lot more fire power up front and I see them winning with 5 points or more.

Good luck to our boys tonight, crackin bunch of talented hurlers - can't wait for 7.30pm!

Up the black n amber!!!

Poor Jackie was getting the blame for it for a while but I heard it was a mess between croke park and and the powers that be.

Still I did get a laugh texting a few lgiel mates asking we're they renaming the club to newco ga&cc lol

On another note, are the league games on Wednesday night going to be played with Antrim playing on the Saturday evening?

Think we won it about 6 years in a row in the late 80's early 90's.

I rem us last retaining it in 99 (I played that one) and maybe 00 against St. Paul's over in lgiel?  Cdall won it the following year against us? Maybe I'm wrong on that one.

Is there any list of the winners of the competition?

It's only win.

[Jesusjones]

Aye first and only, I remind some of our star men of that any time they get above their station!!

[imtommygunn]

Was that the final Sean Delargy scored something like a hat trick in or am I thinking of some other game?

One u21 from cushendall after all the minor wins isn't much. WOuld have expected a lot more.
