Antrim Hurling

[NAG1]

Had noticed the spread too Skull, any reason for the lack of Dunloy lads on it?

[johnneycool]

Sad as I am that Dunloy don't have a few more representing, thats a great spread of clubs (I count 14 - to me a great sign) on the panel.

especially from the lines of Larne, Creggan and Randalstown. i can only but assume that St Brendans is an amalgamation.

[theskull1]

We're weak at minor this year for various reasons

Could have had one more lad on it (was on the panel last years so don't know the reasons why he's not there this year (....possibly couldn't commit or was injured at the time the panel was being drawn up).

St Brendan's is Cushendun, Cloughmills and Glenravel

[the colonel]

all three st brendans players are from cloughmills, promising for them

is the young dunloy boy, the one who got told at last minute he wasn't on team or squad for last yrs ulster final (or something like that?)

cushendall should have at least 3 more on, eoin laverty and paddy mcnaughton (both minor next yr) and laurence mckeegan but none committed. poor show really from our boys

whys young shannon not on, one of their best players last yr

Injured I think

[Minder]

Is there not usually a good spread of clubs at minor level but a lot of players that are playing at "weaker" clubs dont progress because they are playing their club hurling at a relatively lower standard. I take it the Michael Lismore from Larne is Choppers son?

[the colonel]

minder thats alot more than usual i would guess

yeah thats tommys son, trained with cushendall over the winter to give him a bit of hurling at a higher level

Good spread of clubs and it is right that players are judged on their ability not on whether they play for the big 3 or not, but surely there must be someone of County standard in Dunloy and Glenariffe?!

[Minder]

Glenariffe are quite weak at minor this year, very young team. Niall Murray (Big Muzz's son Tony) that played on the victorious CPC team would be as good or better than a lot of lads that are up I would have thought but I don't even know if he commited to it this year. He has played a few games for our seniors this year but is very young. On the subject of Paul Mc Clelland he was a very good player and would have got on most Div 1 teams.

whats your thoughts on this team lads for sunday?

[Minder]

Are Antrim saving players for next week? Otherwise why is Karl Stewart not on?

[Bogball XV]

must be, definitely one of their better players against the dubs, nay, one of their best.

[milltown row]

they did have a manager like bradley. Dinny Cahill was cut from the same cloth

[Minder]

Sambo and Woody should take great credit in making the Ulster Final competitive again.
