Antrim Hurling

[theskull1]

Ballycastle get beat by Rossa by 13 in the league. It mattered not a jot come Championship. Take a team lightly based on previous days out and you'll get caught

Was at the intermediate semi final between Tir Na Og and Carey. Was a very enjoyable game with some good hurling from both sides at times. Carey had man sent off in the first minute for an off the ball strike but boy did they knuckle down and battle hard. Tir Na Og will rue giving away so many scorable frees. Looking forward to the final and another great game with Carey and Sarsfields

2.  'BRING BACK HUMPY'.....go and check your temperature, think you've got a fever and it's making you dilusional! What has he ever achieved as a manager....nothing. There's no track record there, he walked out on us (prior to being sacked) for a paid coaching/management role so don't go on about the money money money, (wee song there!)....when you talk of people who shouldn't be allowed back add Humpy to your list. And go a step further add yourself to the list. Your 'support' is neither wanted nor needed in our club.

This looks like a re-writing of history here.

As far as I know Humpy's first coaching\management role since leaving Ballycastle has been with Glenariffe (who approached him) this year. So he didn 't walk out for a paid role anywhere.  And "prior to being sacked"?  First I've heard of it though that may have been the plan.  The same sort of plan that had to be implemented against Raymond.
I think most people know what happened to Humpy & Nander and who was responsible.

What has he achieved? 
Wasn't he involved with Antrim senior hurlers with McKernan when they won the Christy Ring?

Was he not involved with a school Camogie team that won an All-Ireland?

Did he not take Camogie teams to Feile titles and a 7-a-side title?

I'd ask what has any manager achieved with this squad despite having some very talented hurlers.  Michael McShane couldn't achieve anything with them and he had 3 years at it.  And yet he goes to Slaughtneil and turns them into Ulster champions.  Nander goes to Cloughmills and takes them to a championship.

Until attitudes change among some of the players it wouldn't matter if we had Cody and all his backroom team running the show.

FINALLY another town man that sees and speaks sense. few and far between.cowards of players plotting the exit of managers doesn't sit well with me. then the same coward went and asked Ray only to stab him in the back when things wasn't going well.   wonder will BMA take the team next?

Conor Boyd is lining out for both minors and seniors this year and the minor match is fixed for the same day..... whats the ruling there I wonder?

[Hejustkeepsdroppingballs]

After 2 miss matches and a poor standard of a game at last the 4th Quarter Final threw up something that was worth watching. St Johns would have beat the pick of BC or Rossa and were unlucky they came up against a good Dunloy side. The introduction of the young players from last years fantastic Minor wining team is massive for the Cuchullians and the emergence of their former keeper as a target man outfield is working well gives them different options going forward. When you put it all together with Shorty lording it round midfield they may be too much for BC and be more than a match for either of the other 2 in the final.

As for the situation in BC the man threw his cap in the ring when nobody else wanted to stand up and walk the walk. He had a decorated carer as an underage hurler for his native club and has coached successfully with BC senior football team as well as u8/u10 hurling within the club. The previos management got BC relegated. He has them in a championship semi-final. Well done to that skitter from Dunloy

I'll second that, making the best of a bad situation. Keep the head up and plough on Gabriel 👍🏼

That can't surely be set as final? A joke of a decision if it is.
