Antrim Hurling

[RefForFee]

Some individuals just don't seem to understand,  Ulster Council view hurling (probably the greatest game in the world - in my humble opinion of course) as a major inconvenience. FACT!

There is going to be a North Antrim league. Think all the division 1 and 2 teams from North Antrim have agreed to play (not Loughgiel as they have bigger fish to fry). Will be good to get competitive games up and running before the County leagues start at the beginning of April.

Heard from the grapevine,  Loughgeil have some tasty friendlies coming up over the next few weeks, lads training hard by all accounts and raring to go.  DCU, Dublin, Kilkenny, obviously going farther afield for some decent opposition and testing.  Fair play to them.

Sounds good. Might try to get our club on the ball to set up a south antrim mini league with div 2 3 for any clubs interested. Not point sitting complaining, better being pro active. Hope it goes well for yas.

Yep, best to forget about Ulster as far as hurling is concerned. Time to grab all our clubs in Belfast together and sort something out amongst ourselves, like north Antrim have done. No issue even contacting clubs from outside Antrim to ask if they want to get involved.

Think we have to get the ball rolling though, going to get in touch with our secretary tomorrow to see if we can make contact, 4 months hurling a year is a token gesture.sort out the first two months ourselves .

Forgot to add that I wouldn't be surprised if the county start charging for insurance for each match.

We all pay our annual insurance to Croke Park*, sorry, GAA Central Council.

*That's a PLC who rent their pitch out for matches.

Another quirky slight of hand by the GAA corporate machine - hidden behind lectures of volunteerism.
Did Orwell write animal farm about the GAA?

No surprise with loughgiel - full commitment and preparation is why they are where they are. Are we allowed to support them yet?!
Or do we have to be jealous and hate them to fit the line!

Very dull around as past few weeks.  Xmas blues??  I believe are other wonderful neighbours started back at weekend.

See the starting 15 for Offaly match is named.  Very young, will be interesting to see how some of the U21s making senior debut gets on.

Thats a big score. The university teams are typically in decent shape at this time of year

Wouldn't think DCU would be one of the better teams in fairness, the next couple of games will be a better indication of where they are at. Anyword on how MLR are going in challenge games?
