Seem accurate and were updated by 10.30 last night, fair play to whoever does it.

Fair play alright, the scores were up on the website before some of our fellas were home from the Randalstown match.

Personally, I think it is a fantastic set up - you start to see the scores going up anytime from about 5 minutes after the match is over.

It's all automatic with the referees texting the score in at the end of the match, so depends on the referee being actually able to send a text.

Well done to whoever organised it then I hope he has made a few quid selling the system to othe counties and sporting organisations.

The list of injuries in the Irish News makes pretty depressing reading!

Brendan Herron, Paul Shiels and Kieran Kelly are definitely out of the Dublin game.

Karl McKeegan (fractured hand)
Neil McManus (hip),
Eddie McCloskey (hamstring),
Shane McNaughton (hand) - is he back?
Conor McKinley
Joey Scullion,

all carrying knocks

i'd say mcmanus and shane mcnaughton will be ok, was shane not playing last nite

I heard the injury to Paul Shields could be a long term problem but the injury list isnt looking good thats for sure. The boys heading off to Waterford this afternoon for a training weekend with a 'behind closed doors' game with Waterford.

I read last week in the IN that SHorty had had his scan and that the results were known. Then I heard last night that he hadn't yet been for the scan. What is that all about? Are they really interested in player welfare if they feel they have to lie to a newspaper to show that they are treating his injuries properly?

NAG · May 15, 2009, 09:02:40 AM

Skull what I had heard was that he was supposed to be getting the scan last week but infact had actually just been to see the specialist who then referred him on for the scan. (Even though sambo had reported in the paper that he had been through the scan and all)

He has since been through the scan this week.

The word I had got that it was bad news from the scan, can you fill us in?

Sorry I've heard nothing. I dread to think.

You think ballycastle have talent, just wait until you see St Johns in 5 years!

Intermediate champions ?

Has history taught you nothing groundie?

How many top class hurlers fell by the wayside up there in the past 10 years before they even got to senior?

milltown row · May 16, 2009, 12:07:30 AM

Groundie is talking about these great under 16's that are coming through, i refereed them this year and did the final last year. technique is outstanding, ability brilliant but as you have said Skull, falling by the wayside, they have a great record at that. the kids are "proper westies" and so it will turn out.

harsh but true, would love to see a Belfast senior hurling championship winner, even st johns "Christ that hurt" i cheered rossa that wet sunday the beat Loughgiel "through gritted teeth

" cause it's good for hurling to have various winners but st johns will have to work hard to keep that wee team
