If your looking for a South Antrim venue for championship hurling what about Queens place? Sure does it not have a good stand and all the rest?

Top spot

Great set up, good playing surface and more car parking than Casement or Lamh Dearg. Only downside is that it's too short. There's only one 65' which marks the midfield I think, which I've heard is posing problems for Queens hosting the Sigerson and Fitzgibbon next year.

Aye that's what i thought but had hoped with all the work they had done they'd extended the pitch?? Silly if they haven't

Thats unbelievable

Still no sign of any work in casement so I wouldn't be surprised if the games end up there anyway.

Think GAA was an after thought in the planning and it's primarily used for soccer and rugby.

Its perfectly suitable for football but for hurling it is definitely too small.

Loughgiel will beat either Dunloy or cushendall in the final.
How novel.

I'd say big pj was only one getting an email from county board regarding dates for Ulster club. It's there's to lose in my honest opinion. Loughgiel will win their 4th in a row beating cushendall in a feisty encounter. The rest are making up numbers.

On another note I heard that there was an injury concern in shamrocks camp. Any truth?

Your boys will need to improve Leyland if they are even going to make a dent in them that's for sure.

culchie11 · July 25, 2013, 09:53:51 AM

There you go, a full list of championship fixtures & dates up on county website!!

Took a while but they got there, better than saying check with your club secretary lol

For a while there i thought that the office in casement had closed already for redevelopment lol

I certainly agree, but u can add dunloy to that as wel as all the other teams. No one to touch shams on what I've seen this season. We know wer not going to win a championship, but I can guarantee we will be competitive. We will get there eventually.
