Antrim Hurling

[JamesH]

I think it was more like e50k, and the funding was to come from the Hdc in Croke park according to the explanation given at the last NA committee meeting.

I hope you are right. Could be the best thing to happen for Antrim Hurling in a generation

i see the county is having a trial for any intermediate/ junior players to join next yrs panel. i know there has been a few people recommended over the last while but who realistically is good enough for the panel?

[NAG]

Realistically there are too many players as is that wouldnt get other either the cushendall or dunloy sides which should nearly be a prerequsite to be part of the panel. This is just another smoke screen.

Very few in Junior would cut it in my opinion, they might look good at their own level but they are a cut below the Senior lads who get regular hurling at the higher level. What compounds the problem is that as well as ending up with splinters in their arse from the county, their club hurling can suffer to. Only going on the experience of one of our lads who was on the fringes in Dinny's reign, our best player by a mile but don't think he fielded at all for the county and when he was available to the club he was nowhere near his best. We got relegated that year and have never recovered since.
Definitely some good inter players are worth run, from St.Pauls,Tir na Nog, Clooney's.

who you talkin about here last man? any player already on the panel from these clubs don't have to attend the trial so its additional players they are looking for. maybe the likes of smiley and kearns who have been touted on here?

[Last Man]

Kearns and Smiley would be nowhere near IMO, Fiontain Gamble St.Pauls and is it Gormley(not sure) from Randalstown.

Hi there folks.

I understand this si the site where it all happens, pertaining to lambasting referees, county officials, ridiculing individual players and clubs.

Makes you wonder, where we all go from here regarding hurling in Aontroim.

[imtommygunn]

Another one...

There's a few intermediate players about:
Gort: Quinn
Randalstown: Magill / Duffin

Who is Gormley from Randalstown?

What about that Maguire fella from St Teresas - is he much good?

The trials is a good idea anyway - would be worth it if for one or two players.

Looks more like the same one.
