Antrim Hurling

[btdtgtt]

Predictions for this weekend: I don't see too many tight games apart from St Johns V Ballycran and Dunloy V ourselves. What do you think?

Division 1
Loughgiel V Portaferry - Loughgiel by 5
Clooney V Rossa - Rossa by 6
St John's V Ballycran - Ballycran by 3
Cushendall V St Galls - Cushendall by 10
Dunloy V Mac Uilin - Town by 2

Division 2
Creggan V St Paul's - Creggan by 15
Sarsfields V Carey - Sarsfields by 8
Cloughmills V Armoy - Cloughmills by 6
Cushendun V Gortnamona - Gortnamona by 7
Glenariffe V Ballygalget - Ballygalget by 7

Wins for:
Loughgiel
Rossa
Cushendall
I think the Town could make dunloy's troubles worse.
Fancy the johnnies could take 2points off ballycran also!

Division 2 wins I think for creggan cloughmills sarsfields  GNM ballygalget.

Agreed MR2 - I was talking about hurling.
Sure anyone can kick a football 

ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sure, so many of them have taken the 'Foot' out of football they no longer need to kick it.  So a lot of them in my experience cant kick the ball either.

True. Just don't say that on the football thread!

Concentrating on Scor this year... Think there's an All Ireland in us

Great game this afternoon against the Ulster champions. Portaferry were up 6 points at half time but the shamrocks played out of their skins in the second half to end up 7 point winners. 3-15 to 2-11.

Just got hit with a call out so no games today - put any results if posters are online!

Ruairi Og 4-29 St Galls 0-7

Both teams missing at least 6 or 7 (Ruairi Ogs - Ryan McCambridge, Aaron Graffin, Sean Delargy, Paddy McNaughton, Shane McNaughton, Eunan McKillop and Neil McManus).

St Galls at a glance (Karl Stewart, CJ McGourty, Antoin McCafferty, Sean Burke, Aodhan Gallagher and Sean McAreavey).

Ruairi Og were never really troubled and played some nice hurling in stages.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

have to admit im a happier man after watching ydays game. beat Ballycastle 0-16 to 0-09 with shorty scoring 0-13 of our total.

Great day for a match and nice to see us win both reserve and senior for a change. Decent enough match but both teams seemed to be holding back a bit. I still see problems with the way we are playing and we let Ballycastle rattle off a few scores at the end of the first half when we seemed comfortable.

It's hard to say, I've only been at a couple games myself, have not bothered this year due to work committments (haven't refereed either this year) but we are under new management and hoping that things bed down before Championship, the results (no results ) are poor but the players that have taken this club through the last load of years are getting old, all in their 30's so injuries and the other committments may also be factors for this... we've a few good young lads on the team but when playing away from home ya need the old experienced heads on the team....

Wish I could be more optimistic but did mention this before the season started

Tongue firmly back in cheek then about the Belfast super club comment  Hardly what we would call competing.

St Galls v C'Dall off

[btdtgtt]

Fantastic display from Waterford U21s winning in Cork!
Has anyone else noticed the demise of cork hurling?
