Ours is easy, Rossa by some margin.

We're dire at the minute.

We do have a smattering of good underage hurlers coming through but its too early to tell, but any young lads thrown into that team will struggle, no real leadership in there and too many of the more seasoned lads passing the buck and may well be told to fúck off next year when we're in Div2 and start afresh.

Some of them seem to think you don't need to tackle in hurling anymore, but sure I'm an old cúnt who knows nothing.

Plenty of them about  ;D

JC - the problem with league is the county boys missing and it seems to always hit the ards teams worse.

for whats it worth, here's my view:

st johns v ballycran: jonhnies, simply because they are on a winning streak but if down boys back up the road and allowed to play it might be tighter than you think
c'dall v p'ferry - cushendall - getting good results and starting to form again after a few poor performances and seen portaferry this year and dont think they are terribly fussed on these league games
enda's v dunloy - this will be tight and i'm going to call it! Enda's for the win... :o
b'galget v rossa - agree with JC, Rossa. they are getting less and less reliant on dual players. could be brewing somthing. (just based on saffron gael teamsheets btw)
b'castle v loughguile - loughguile, until ballycastle are at full strength they are easily got at. even in ballycastle

I aw Rossa maybe a month ago. They were ok but nothing special. They'll need quite a few back to be challenging I would say but O'Brien, Walsh and McEnhill anyway would definitely boost them. In their defense it was an away game and I don't think they travel well.

At half time I thought there could be something in that game for us today. V disappointing outcome, notwithstanding the sending off, the performance levels dropped.

Penalty decision was a joke

NorthAntrim

What was the sending off for? Wasnt at the game. Seemed to fall apart after it

From what I saw it was minimal contact, we get refereed in such a different way to the other teams.

Looked like McGarry made an ever so slight contact to the lads helmet...

Very harsh indeed.

I always wonder in these situations would he have sent off whelan if roles where reversed. Truth be told if whelan would have done that to Ryan then we would have been screaming for a red. The penalty was very harsh as the Galway player dived at contact. Nothing we can do about the ref but the wides, short balls and being a bit toothless up front is what we should focus on. Props to the management for starting Bohil at 11 it made the ball stick up front. On the down side our inside forward line was very ineffective (there movement was non existent). Great to see young Boyd and O Connor holding their own at the other end.

It looked like more than minimal contact from where i was standing, if you hit someone on helmet or face guard you are asking for trouble.

Whelan went off for a while for treatment, & as NAH said above we would have been looking for a red the other way about. Down to 14 obviously didn't help but very poor in second half and probably expended a lot of energy in the first half 
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

How many times in both games yesterday did someone reach in and flick for the ball and catch the opponent accidently on the face guard or helmet.

I can think of at least 3 instances off the top of my head and no red cards.
