Antrim Hurling

[getevennotcross]

Im going to go out personally on sat night a run a hose over it to ensure its into the arse and it means that both teams will play in a bog!  lol

He he he, good man DR, good to see you lightening up somewhat 😀.

[Seamroga in exile]

I've never known PJ to get sent off as a player or a manager, nevermind suspended. Maybe DR and hirtydarry know better. I suppose we'll all just have to wait until Sunday to find out. 

Rumour has it that a member of the CB has said that PJ has no hope of getting the Antrim Senior job (even if he wanted it) after the 'incident' a few weeks ago.
I also have no doubt that PJ will be on the sideline this weekend.

Exactly! Rumours and conjecture. A load a ballix. 

Believe what you wish  it wont make it false.

Anyway any chance you can sort the weather out for sat that it wont lash down on us in Lgiel! I hope it stays away for both games!

it also doesn't make it True. The rain is to pour tonight into tomorrow evening until around the time the match is due you start then it's to fair up a bit. Sunday not too bad looking.

U10 CHAMPIONSHIP BLITZ at Dunloy called off tomorrow. Preemptive strike based on weather forecast. Hopefully senior games will go ahead.

Sad for the kids but credit forward planning and sure wee'uns might not enjoy hurling in a downpour!

Fair chance both semis could have 3points or less in them?
(ie) the poc of a ball!

Move it to Casement during the week under lights weather to be a lot better from Monday on.... Oh wait

Bring a strimmer or two.

Not a lot of hurling being talked on here as usual. It seems to be more about rain in Dunloy, referees, SF and how windy it is in Ballycastle!!!

Anyhoo I can't see past Loughgiel on Sunday. Unbeaten all year and a lack lustre performance vs St Galls to buck them up a bit it would be a shock to me if Cushendall get past them.

As for tomorrow Ballycastle haven't beat Dunloy in the championship since 1996 and they have put us out of 4 of the last 7 championships so Dunloy have no reason to fear us. They also have a match winner in Paul Shiels who invariably does step up to the mark for them. They will work as a team and so wont be easy beat.

As for Ballycastle I believe we have 3 potential match winners (Neal McAuley, Saul McCaughan and Ciaran Clarke) but in the last few years as a team they haven't delivered in the championship. Although still a relatively young team quite a number of players have played 5/6 years in the championship so its time they stepped up as a group and delivered on the big day. Although Dunloy have beaten us a lot in recent years I don't think overall they have a better team than Ballycastle so if we can get a big performance from some of our main players in addition to a lot of hard work from players all over the pitch then we might just get over the line. Even Skull will be happy if Ballycastle win, he wont then be part of the last team from Dunloy to have gotten beat by Ballycastle in the championship

I'll happily carry that cross for a few more years FH 

[Fairhead]

Ah damn you Skull your such a team player!!!!

[Milltown Row2]

Ah damn you Skull your such a team player!!!!

I thought there was more hype into the game last time, were most thought Ballycastle would win...Teams that do their talking on the pitch normally do well

Neal Mcauley is a great player. He is a poor man marker though. I'd be surprised if he is not sweeper today. If he and Shorty start at 6 and 11 Shorty will get score after score. Dunloy have Nigel Elliott and Nicky McKeague (if fit) to even out Mccaughan/Clarke. Dunloy do have the better defence however. Add the change of management in season and I think....... Ballycastle will win. They're due one and it has to happen some time.

Hockeystick, ur amazing, a really enthralling and passionate analysis, I just cant wait until you get your CAP journalist posting.  Exhilarating stuff man, your talents know no bounds! (NOT)

Dont forget to bring all your old Toicfaidh Armanies, clothes etc. to the games today and tomorrow. County do a whip round for unwanted clothing for our refugee brothers and sisters - jeasus someone thinking outside the box, or maybe its a ploy to get a wardrobe together for wee Joes  innauguration??

WUM-ing aside, bring the unwanted clothing!

Toughest game to call from all 6 quarters/semis. Could go either way. Neither team have kicked on much from the game last season. Ballycastle did make two bad management calls then though and they won't be repeated.
