Antrim Hurling

[milltown row]

I remember the non starred games being as they were, glorified challenge games, while Dinny was the man that propelled us to a new level,the leagues did suffer. Could Dinny change it and use a new method while not disrupting the leagues? Or will he revert back to the last method?

[ha ha derry]

imo dinny cahill would be a good move for antrim. it,s a cse of other countys moving forward not antrim moving back !!! this time (with the advantage of hindsight) he,ll knw how to move forward.. by the way ger rogan got manager of the year in derry.

i seem to remember some sort of 'countess of Antrim' competition which was played minus county players and although it gaqve the non-county players a run out was lacking in the quality and intensity of a full run out.

You gotta remember Dinny is from Tipp where it is very common for county players not to play with their clubs through league campaigns but in Tipp there's not too many teams sending five, six, seven players to county training which has a huge impact on club training let alone games.

in a much as these extended inter county championships, play-offs etc may be good for the high level GAA it really restricts the number of weekends open to a fixtures secretary to plan clubs games in so to an extent I have a bit of sympathy with county boards in this regard.

Johnney, the Countess of Antrim is the North Antrim board's Intermediate Championship competition which include the likes of Loughgiel, Cushendall, Dunloy, Ballycastle second teams and Carey, Glenarm etc (intermediate clubs). The final is played over the Feis weekend

Would you mind finding out why "Admin" didn't post my response to his "it's a myth that dinny stopped players playing club games" reply to an earlier post which had been penned (but not delivered) by my good self.

Does the truth hurt?

I remember playing in something of that name or similar with teams from the Ards and Belfast teams possibly eight to ten years ago. We were playing minus county players for sure.

Any Truth in the rumour that Joe Edwards jacked it in? Big loss if he has I,d say

Hi Skull, I would like to help but I think thi sis something you should take up with the county 'Admin'.  Do you think I am some sort of a message boy for you or something. Do you not think I hav eenough to do running around after the 'Doc', making tea for Tyrone, cleaning the changing rooms, waxing my car, cleaning the windiows of my Tardice, keeping an eye on the GAABoard - Antrim Hurling Thread.  Fer de luva jaysess Skull, I am surprised at you.  'Hey Tyrone, this fecker Skull on the GAABoard thinks I have nothing better to do'.

From an Antrim GAA Web Site perspective Skull, I think you could be right, 'the truth' does hurt.  But I think the same applies to the GAABoard - Antrim hurling thread. Many a poster has been kicked off here when they told the truth or intimated that others where not telling the truth or did not like to be told the truth.  Such is life, we move on though!

Good Luck to Dunloy, St. Galls and Rasharkin this weekend.  Lets make it an Antrim treble boys.

Will the Tardice be open tonight for the Mageean Cup final?

Mageean Cup Final Result

Cross And Passion 3-16 St Marys 0-12

[slow corner back]

CPC have a fair sprinkling of last years all ireland team left as far as I know, good win none the less well done to all involved.

[Fairhead]

Yeah congrats to CPC on retaining the Mageean Cup. Future looking good for them too; they put 10 goals past Maghera in the McNamee final.

As for tomorrow Dunloy won the county final comfortably in the end up but in the 1st 20 mins their full back line looked vulnerable and Cushendall had 3/4 good goal chances which they didnt take. If Ballycrans pacey forwards can get good possession they can give the Dunloy full back line a tough time. However if Dunloys experienced players play like they did against the Dall i expect them to pull through by 4/5.
