Antrim Hurling

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

Sats game was a good run out for the players. you can see from the subs changing for players that the manager wanted to get a look at a few players to see what he had on offer.

1-19 is a good scoring return away from home.

Laois are a decent team so its a good game for the team. Up next is another tough game away to Dublin

Reading nothing into any results at this stage - only the management and players will have a sense of how things are going.
It's all about the atmosphere and effort - if they are on money - then we can worry about results down the line when they mean something (i.e) league & championship.
Early days, here's hoping the turn in the calendar year has us looking towards the season ahead!

On Reading the Panel, we are still short of a bit of pace and power, some lads very much of a muchness. Although Ryan Mc C , Conor McCann and Campbell will help, we are struggling for me, that's not the managers fault before I get shot, but it's a worry. Any progress on Saul??

Getting eddie and Liam in there into the forwards will add the pace and power that we were lacking last season. Losing Shorty is a blow but it is what it is and we will have to do without him for the time being.

History to repeat itself at Clones? An Antrim team v a Galway team in an All Ireland semi final. I hope not.

Dunloy played Sarsfields in Mullingar.
They were the better side I don't know how it got away. (A certain Joe Cooney)

Joe Cooney allegedly used a size 4 ball coming of the bench for the last free. It was a big joke with Sarsfields  at the time. Lad came out with a towel to dry Joe's hurl and dropped the junior ball in the process.

Id say he'd have knocked the size 5 over also... Too many games Dunloy were so unlucky in... Watched most of them

Indeed. And Won a few also!
They kept that 90s team so well adding a couple of new guys every year or two to stay a top team in Ireland over a decade.

Yes that's sounds about right!
Still no indications of the Dall venue then?
