Antrim Hurling

[bannside]

Two tough games lined up for the weekend. Will be in Brewster Park but fair play to KR for the great work he is doing and good luck to everyone involved in Portlaoise.

How long do we reckon from Belfast to Portlaois?

I suspect the footballers are not going to get much support this year!

SIE fair play to you for going to all these games.

I'd say 2.30 hrs tommy, we are the first game at 2 so given time for additional traffic should leave around 11, couple pints job done

This is going to be tough to get a result. Wexford have beat tipp and KK recently in challenge matches
We will drop a man back I would say in first half and try and keep score line tight
If we are in around 3 points adrift or in front going in to the last ten minutes and spring the likes of mc cann or young johnston from the bench then I fancy a win
On league form we most of our damage in that time
There will be a Wexford gameplan for shorty so we need other players to step up from play
Having said that if shorty has a good game then he can't be be ignored for an all star

Arron graffan  has a job to do on Jacob if he starts in the corner but no better man

All in all if the first half goes to plan very confident

Cheers MR.

NAH far too early for all stars as usually only business end they care about... Yep Jacob(s) always cause us an awful lot of bother so hopefully Graffin or someone else can keep tabs.

I would like to see them go and have a real good cut at Wexford, dont worry about the Jacobs etc just be confident in their own ability and really put on a performance. If they do that I would say the result will take care of itself.

Sorry my mistake I meant all star nomination
If he has a good game v Wexford will be surprised if he isn't nominated
Ciaran Herron got a nomination with a top class performance in one match  against Wexford  funny enough

[imtommygunn]

Yeah but that was in croke park in late july / early august when the journalists were actually watching the matches...

Hopefully he'll have another day out or two after this to prove himself and put himself in the shop window anyway. Big ask but no reason why not.

Rip Jim Mc Clements. True gent. Sad to hear of his passing

Anyone at our game tonight at Loughgiel? I see we were only beaten by 3, without our county players so not a bad effort in fairness. I know Loughgiel would have had all their players available
