Antrim Hurling

[Sleeping giant]

So if that's the case why not let  the game be re fixed.  Why drop out? Something isn't adding up.

good to see SMN back in antrim colours. Great forward on his day.  Mc Cann as center forward is an improvement for me anyway. What's carsons deal this year?

Mccann is a good target man with a great hand on him hope he does well in there. What about Conor McCann he had a great year under dinny then hasn't really had a proper go since.

So who actually won the other McAuley Cup semi-final? And when they playing the final, not many weekends left until All County Leagues start.

Loughgiel won 0-16 - 0-8.

[auld stock]

can u clarify bonamargy. u say ur game was goin ahead until laois game. u were supposed to play dunloy the sunday before that right after the c'dall l'guile game??

[Seamroga in exile]

Loughgiel vs dunloy is always a tight game. It will be a great chance to get one over early on the ones over the bog.

I see Offaly beat limerick today. Bad news for Antrim.

[saffron89]

it is not the case that antrim will end up playing more than likely laois in a relegation play off anyway ??
also like to say about the great turn out for Jim Nelson.  Guy was a legend and had the most impressive CV in Ulster hurling.  What did strike me was the way he conducted himself..... an absolute gentleman.  RIP

I was thinking more of the fact that we have to play Offaly yet. It's not looking good as far as the result goes. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I think Waterford will hand out a bit of a lesson tomorrow. And then it's Offaly. A team who Antrim were at least on a par with last season. Offaly beat a good limerick team today after getting beat by Antrim last year in the play off. Undoubted progress being shown by Whelahan and his team.

Another dark day for Antrim hurling, an all too familiar pattern. I'm not going to put the blame on players or management. I know they try very hard. The bottom line is we just aren't good enough for this level. What I think should be done is forget putting any emphasis on the County team. Every bit of energy should be directed towards youth and a vibrant club scene. I would have no problem just using a gather up for a division 2 game next year. Antrim are too far removed from the hurling scene to improve significantly. Lets just get back to basics so were not totally demoralized.

Waterford 4-30 Antrim 0-10 FT

We seriously should do what the Kilkenny footballers do and pull out next year. Organise all cub games for the good weather and forget this repetitive nonsense.

[hurlingstick]

Particularly tough on Kevin Ryan given the opposition. Did we play a reserve team or did we play full strength?

That's some tanking
Offaly beating Limerick it's all gone pete tong
