Looks like some are already begrudging Loughgiel, even before their big day on Saturday. Good luck to them I say!
To suggest LW will play in corner forward, I think underestimates the lads ability, he is most likely to be all over the place trying to win ball and doing what he does best. I just hope his temperament and discipline prevail. On that basis I think Louighgiel will get the right result. I hope young Barney makes it also! The very best of luck to the Shamrocks.

Get tore into the Gaels lads, your club have a very proud tradition at this level, the only hurling club in Ulster to ever do it!

Thats pure pish. He has lined out at corner forward in all loughgiels championship games in 2010 so how are we underestimating his ability?

A bit harsh don't you think Colonel? What I was eluding to, is the fact that he can also move out of corner forward, win ball and score not just from a corner forward position!

Why would one position on the pitch determine his ability?

I hope this was tongue in cheek, LG management and fans will be hoping for the exact opposite to happen.

Exactly right, some of the best hurlers in Ireland play corner forward, Mullane, Corbett etc.

Someones supposed knowledge of the local game is a bit poor. Loughgiel are plus 6 in the handicap i fancy this to be a tighter game. Can anyone persuade me otherwise?

NAG1 · February 17, 2011, 10:29:42 AM

I think they were maybe basing that on championship scores by LG this year which were low, so combining that with a step up in level I would say the bookies are just enticing some people in with that spread.

OLG arent a massive scoring powerhouse but could see it slipping beyond the six, alot will depend on the weather though if it keeps up the way it has been this week, could make for a real dog fight.

Loughgiel to win the match are 5/1. To win by 1-3 points we're 17/2. If we are to win it won't be by anymore than 3 points so 17/2 seems like a good bet. Worth a score of anybody's money

theskull1 · February 17, 2011, 10:49:37 AM

Also think it'll be a tight game. OLG's wont have the swagger of Ballyhale or Portumna and LG haven't took many pastings in the past few years. Can't see any team romping it

Milltown Row2 · February 17, 2011, 01:18:19 PM

Pdiddy looked at that last night and if i were a club man i'd take that for sure. As Skull said i also believe they wont take a pasting. looking forward to match

Anybody know if the fixtures are made yet for the Leagues?

I think Skull should have a flutter on it aswell. Either way he's a winner

NAG1 · February 17, 2011, 04:03:11 PM

Aye but if he won the money on a LG win it would be ilgotten money and be no use to him, he would end up having to give it away!
