Antrim Hurling

[The stig]

If my memory serves me right I think loughgiel's recent championship record in glenravel is poor

[Two Hands FFS]

Glenravel isnt good for spectators trying to view the match. Thought it should have been in Cushendall. Armou would have been a better choice than Glenravel

[MoChara]

Cushendall and Loughgiel could be a bit of litmus test tomorrow for how the championship will go

[btdtgtt]

Rossa v Cushendall expected to be in Corrigan.

I doubt it very much. Neither team will show their full hand.

Jesus could they come up with 2 worse venues for spectators? Corrigan in particular is abysmal.

Agreed. I'm really disappointed. I'm starting to wonder how poor this new county board are. A recent experience with two of them was not good! Armoy has junior and intermediate final .....it had intermediate final last year too. There's no elevated area at Glenravel......this could be a bad move in more ways than one.

Where would you prefer it?

[Hurlingballs]

Cushendall v shamrocks match not on tomorrow, cushendall Have been given the points

[Two Hands FFS]

Let's be honest here. More people go to matches if held in North Antrim. Last years championship proved that. Big crowds, great atmosphere & good facilities.
The attendance at St John's v Rossa was terrible for a championship match with two teams playing on their doorstep. Awful. They put the first semi final at Corrigan because the city clubs always complain they get screwed over (bullshit).
For Cushendall v Rossa...Ballymena is half way....good viewing with bank on far side!
The other semi final...definitely not Glenravel...poor viewing. Parking is poor.

The county board made a total mess of these fixtures.

I heard a good few complaints before the venue was set about where in North Antrim Rossa would be sent to.
Maybe I shouldn't have said 'always' to be fair.

They have made a mess ..... Cushendal for the Loughiel v Ballycastle game would have been better. Think Dunloy is ruled out. Armoy is a great pitch and a great ground.

Yeah, it's right up there with the "City clubs don't fulfil their juvenile fixtures...."

Who said that?
My point was that both venues were poor choices! Glenravel is an even worse choice.

[Two Hands FFS]

North Antrim Board at the last county convention. They kindly retracted it after being presented with evidence to the contrary.

Well I didn't know that...but my point still stands that the semi final venues are wrong.
