Antrim Hurling

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

Lets talk about hurling instead lol

seems like a lot of pitches are bad shape at the moment. I can see a few games not going ahead this weekend if the rain doesnt hold up. I know ours has taken a real hammering and our main pitch still isnt opened up.

I dont rem this many games at all levels being called off before at this stage of a season.

Think clubs with the support of the Ulster Council should be looking petition our local government/councils to set up some sort initiative to provide funding to clubs to assist with improving/maintaining pitch drainage

This is the type of thing that our politicians should be all over, how many (for example) soccer clubs for instance own their own pitches?

Therefore as rates payers we are paying for the maintenance of the pitches that they play on, IMO the same level (or an agreed level) of maintenance should be afforded to GAA clubs who chosen to invest in their own communities by purchasing land and developing it for sporting use.

Hardly likely to happen when the DUP voted to block rate relief for sports clubs!!

Was there ever confirmation that the CR match would be in Abbotstown?

The last I heard it was to be played in Parnell.

Any Shams or Ruaris tell me if the match is on this Sunday? Heard today it could be called off..

Just echoing what Paddy John has asked - any word of Cushendall vs Loughgiel match is on tomorrow? Hearing the senior match is moved till Monday evening and just reserves tomorrow. ....

I'm going to head to the Dunloy/johnnies game. It should be a tight game. Looking forward to it
