Antrim Hurling

[Two Hands FFS]

Young Fella.. Cushendall beat St Johns in 2005 minor final. Cushendall got a couple of late goals to win it. Did St Johns maybe play a final a couple of years before that??

[Minder]

I think they played in the 2004 final against Dunloy too,could be wrong

And beat them Handy as well. Although we had a very young side, St Johns were a really impressive side at that point. Must be a torture keeping boys hurling in the big smoke whenever they discover the battle of old english.

Interestingly, Dunloy got to the U21 final with that very same side last year. Tells it's own story there  . Would love the city teams to start competing at Senior again. Have they no pride?

[theskull1]

Yeah ....all fair points HS

So most of that minor team are still hurling?...there you go. I wouldn't have known that

[Minder]

I think its too simple and lazy an argument to make that just because a team in Belfast does not make the transition from under age to senior hurling. What about the strong under age teams in the last 20 years in Loughguile? Granted there seem to be more distractions in Belfast,especially well run soccer leagues. The demon drink culture is as prevalent in any North Antrim village as in West Belfast albeit on a smaller scale. Lads in any club find that with senior hurling mainly played on a Sunday that sitting in the house in a Saturday night and training three nights a week is not for them.

to give hurling up for drinking and well run soccer leagues is mental and if they prefer that to playing hurling then they were never really committed, find it real strange that the Johnnies did not enter.

about the under 21 re fix, like all clubs the right hand never knows what the left hand is doing, under lights at Casement, Jody was asked if we could have burkey and cj and he thought about it then came back saying he wanted burkey but cj was not fit

[Minder]

I hear Woody and Sambo asked Liam Richmond up to the county panel but he declined,it all sounds a bit desperate. Rumour that  Cloot has been offered the full forward spot if he wants it are unfounded though. . . . . .

Anyone know how St Mary's CBGS got on this afternoon in Dublin?

I've worked out why my head hurts. I tried over and over again to understand wtf Ras was talking about. Obviously haven't got intellect to stay with such a bright young mind. 

Going for a lie down
