If come Thursday morning I see Rasharkin having beaten Rossa I'll be amazed but who knows.

In that Div 2/3 mix there might be some interesting battles and results. Ballycran apart and Cloughmills at the other end everyone is capable of beating everyone.

Games should be at 7.30pm. Its been said alot, there are complaints galore about this but it should be the same all round.
Avoids traffic for Belfast teams travelling north and other traffic issues. Light enough to have it and means a bit of preparation time.
Most games will arguably not start until a bit after 7 anyway.

yep a bit off comon sense would not hurt anyone, 7.30 starts have been the norm at south antrim games between belfast clubs for two weeks, but the all knowing and all powerful Antrim board/CCC/and website addmin know whats best

Was that you they were getting tore into Milltown? 

[Minder]

Chairman Mc Sparran obviously reads this board as he was talking about Milltown and "other sites".....

[NAG]

what about the games tonight?

Think the game in loughgiel should be interesting.

Were the johnnies well behaved at the weekend?

In Div2/3 there is no way Rasharkin are going to trouble Rossa - if they do Rossa should just give up the hurling and stick to the football - thats how big a shock that result would be!  Ballycran should acount for Tir na nOg if they make it there on time - will be interesting to see if Magill is playing tonight.  Gorts will continue their winning ways v G'ravel, wins also for St. Gall's, Clooney, Glenarm, St. Pauls, Sarsfields/C'dun hard to call.

Definitely a decent league despite what protests there were before it began.  A few reality checks for some of the Div 1 clubs making the drop.

Magill is not starting for the footballers and i heard he played last night for the senior hurlers in a friendly against Dublin, so i would expect him to play tonight

[milltown row]

Fair play of Magill turning out for the hurlers and his club, would Magill have been dropped from the footballers had he been a footballer only? i doubt it very much. talented at both like a lot of players from my own club. Karl Stewart top scored last seasonfor St Galls and would be a usefull player on Jody's panel. but his love for hurling would mean his county football appearances would be limited.

Thank goodness, common sense has prevailed.

Milltown
I think there were other issues surrounding his exit from the football, we all know he is a talent but there is a committment that is supposed to go along with county talent and that is sadly lacking in this case. He has played them off against each other for long enough and I can see where jody os coming from on this one!

[Glensman]

Milltown

Just confirming this...you may have done so previously.

Is Kevin McGourty seriously not playing hurling at all for St Galls. Does he go to their training? How can he possibly be on the county panel if not?

If it is the case that he's not then its just stupidity...all along people have said his fitness, strength is up there but he needs work on his hurling which games for the club would give him.

[milltown row]

yes Kevin has not turned out for either teams at the club, i'm sure he will at some piont but to date has not lifted a finger.
