Good win yesterday again wexford

Is next game Carlow away, on 22nd march? One game at a time. Let us not think of Offaly until 19th april.

The 2 Cushendall lads did well, Mcmanus and delargey. Everyone knows my dislike of cushendall, but good that they playedyesterday after last weeks disappointment.

now now leroy...

with another game this weekend, if more cushendall players became available would they be selected? maybe a move for SD to corner back and young woody dropped?

Think that has to happen. McGourty will be under pressure from Graffin as well, you'd think.

Mind you, are UUJ in the Ryan Cup Finals this weekend (think semis on Friday and final on Saturday)? There is a sizeable Antrim contingent there - will they make themselves available on Sunday??

It would be very Antrim-esque to blow it against Westmeath, having done so well against Wexford!!!!!!!!!!!

Would be
(1) a tough weekend for McManus and Graffin if UUJ won through to the Ryan Cup final and they were asked to play all; and
(2) tough enough on the players that got UUJ to there if those boys were to come back in.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
I believe that Greg O'Kane is really impressing as a trainer out there.

Milltown - asked a query there on the All Ireland Club website.
"At a free/sideline - can a player not stand with his arms and therefore stick in the air without moving? Is it the moving bit that is a free?"
Just thought I'd bring the query to you rather than have you go looking for it!

Other than Graffin, McManus and delargey I do not think the rest of the cushendall players will add much. Like I have said before-"most are past it or have not got the balls"
I rate young McGourty.
It would be typical of Antrim to lose against westmeath

And HI yes Milltown Row, and I am a culchie from Cushendall HI. Now I better go and look the cows HI.

Not just McManus and Graffin, Glensman - Shields, Neal McAuley and Conor McKinley!

Aswell as Chris O Connell and possibly Paddy Magill.

it's the moving of the stick in front of a player about to hit a free/sideline cut that is the foul. same as a player in football, jumping as a player is about to take a free

Being the oldest doesn't necessarily make one the wisest. In this case however it does

I think you have just damned him with faint praise Skull. . . .

theskull1 · March 03, 2009, 11:32:10 PM

Not at all Minder. Just wanted to have a wee laugh at the other two's expense. The boundaries on his sagaciousness could very well be endless (yes I used a thesaurus) ...

NAG · March 04, 2009, 08:50:02 AM

Did we all including cushendall not realise that playing SD up front is not an option, why would we be trying to convert one of the better defenders of the past two seasons into a forward at this stage anyway, after 3 years and the most committed and best squad we have ever had, why have we not got better options going forward?

JamesH · March 04, 2009, 03:54:30 PM

Leroy, you are some craic, what club are you frey? Are you saying Karl MC Keegan has no balls and wouldn't add much? He is the most consistant county hurler over the last 8 years and if you were a true supporter you would know that.

groundlie · March 04, 2009, 11:31:27 PM

Karl McKeegan is a fantastic hurler, Antrim are lucky to have a player of his quality. 2002 vs Tipp he gave an outstanding display of centre half back play. Will walk into the current side. Lets not get carried away it was one decent win. If they can beat offaly well then that's some achievement.
