Antrim Hurling

[theskull1]

It does not matter what size you are and how great an "athlete" you are if you dont have the touch and stickwork you may as well be pissing into the wind.

Of course stickwork is first, but strength and size are a real benefit to a good hurler

What if you are not a "good hurler" ?

Then you're pissing in the wind? 

[Minder]

Exactly

The key to the being a good hurler is being in the right place at the right time.

My example - Gary O'kane

I think my granny could have beat him a race at his fastest but he was never beat for a ball cause he was there first.

Anybody see any odds for the Wexford match? Cant get on gambling sites in work, just porn.

10/3     Antrim      9/1      Wexford   2/7

     Evs + 5 pts      9/1      10/11 – 5 pts

[Minder]

Cheers Girt, pretty attractive odds.

for who minder? anrim beat me in my bet last weekend, thought they would overcome a Dublin team that really didn't show after getting beat by Antrim last year.

i think Wexford -5 is a good bet going on last weeks game, but i'm not going to touch it.

antrim would be worth a small punt,but a very small one. Home advantage is certainly an advantage for us,but we are not good enough to beat them if both teams play to potential. There is always a chance you will catch them on an off day

I see by the forecast it gives a good wkend which means a dry ball for the game on sunday which could spell trouble for the boys in Dunloy.

I hope the defence can hold out because I expect a rampant and confident wexford to turn up after last weekends results.

I heard the backs got the runaround last week, i would prefer to see Mc Keegan in midfield as he is far too loose for CHB.

[NAG]

Do you really think so minder?

I think he is way more effective as a CHB than mid field.

The mid fielders should be playing closer to him so that he has cover if he decides to cover someone else, its a team game and he hasnt had a mid field in a while to back him up.
He is good under a dropping ball and covers the ground well and sets up good attacks, we should be more tactically aware of this and give him some support and at the same time opening up the forward line.

[Guillem2]

I wouldn't be very hopeful after last weeks performance.

[Minder]

NAG i just think he doesent mark his man tightly enough, he clears a lot of ball but i think a Number 6's first priority is to neutralize the No 11. All about opinions though.

[podge]

this arguement has been had many times. how many no. 11's have you ever seen clean him out? i

ulster club final a couple of years ago.   one of the young clarkes, very small thin guy (stephen I think), gave Karl an awful roasting. scored several points.

anyway, karl is one of our most dedicated and consistent players.
