Antrim Hurling

Tough night for the oisins

There's been worse thrashings. 2-10s decent enough nicking

Nei in midfield? Ffs he's been great at centre half. I assume mattys injury from tr u21 final has him rules out but play Neil in the middle where he could field a ball. Doesn't make sense.
Full forward line looks weak other than Karl.
I have hope that we can win but the head says lose sadly
I really want to be wrong.

Shamrocks 5-21 oisins 2-10

Glenariffe have a lot of younger players and they got of to a very good start but Loughgiel progressively pulled away.  Seemed to be a good work ethic among the Glenariffe lads though and if they can stay up they have a base to build on.

We were missing a few first teamers + the county players.  Good to see a few younger fellas making debuts and putting in good performances.

Its a safe bet we won't line out as listed.  I'd say the plan will be to crowd the middle of the park and keep it tight.  A fine idea if you have the inside forwards to do damage.  We don't.

I may be wrong in my assumptions above but I see Wexford by 10 points.

Think u could be right. For a while I could see mcAuley dropping back ibetween HB and FB line with mccloskey dropping to MF along with Stewart. This will leave four forwards but problem being this could give them a great launch pad for there attacks if they leave 6 back. Antrim forwards would need to be really busy off the ball. Hope they can pull it off.

Dont know what the fitness is like with KS but if we drop him out around the middle and NMcA further back open up a bit of room for SMcN and move the ball early and fast and the rest play off him then we would be in with a shout. I dont think Wexford are any great shake but slightly better than us on a good day.

You weren't there the last day we played them down there then NAG. They were a fair bit better than us that day especially up front when they had far more purpose about their play
