Antrim Hurling

Well done to Antrim
Let's hope they can get a result v Meath this weekend
Big shock for Down
They seem to have have some dicipline issues at the moment
Some red cards in the last two games

No big shock at all, three of the team away on a stag do, very little training done since the Christy Ring defeat and no one gives a shit about the Ulster championship.

Discipline does seem to be an issue, maybe its wee men trying to be big men I don't know, but I know one of our lads is inclined to walk a tightrope in terms of double yellows, but he plays in the forwards for us and in the backs for the county and IMO as good as a hurler he his, he needs to learn how to defend when his opponent has the ball rather than panicking and slapping away where he gives up loads of fouls and yellows.
There's an art form to it, some pick it up instinctively, others learn it once they're shown and sometimes you learn from hard lessons being taught on the field of play and others just don't get it.

That's a pity if I was honest I thought they where hurling better than us In LG but conceded a lot of frees and serious borderline physicality from more than one player
On hurling ability they should be beating Armagh and would have have have Antrim a fair rattle In the final
Antrim don't seem to motivated by Ulster and after the christy ring wouldn't have been training to hard for final

It was .....good game. Alec Delargy scored the scrappiest winning goal in  the last minute. Very close game.

what game where you at, it was a pretty poor game IMHO,  from our point of view we played very badly all over the field maybe bar 3/4 positions.

Loughgiel IMO didnt play all that well either.

but saying that credit to the boys, they stuck at it to the very end and got the chance to win it at the end and took it.

What i should have said was it was a close game. Totally agree that neither team played well. It was tight throughout though which made it entertaining enough. Cushendal got out of jail I think!!!!

I hear some club games going ahead with county players involved in Div 3 tomorrow nights, county wont call them off.

Will be interesting to see if Antrim GAA move with the times and change the times of this weekend games to avoid the clash with Ireland match.

Id say this will probably fall to clubs between themselves to sort out.

Christy Ring replay on the same time as Norn Iron is playing, Antrim not looking for a new time?
