Any match reports from the weekend?

Loughgiel with a very understrength side (no JCampbell, N McGarry, Skinner, Winker & a few more) totally overran us in the second half after us going 7 points up at a stage in the first and went onto win by 5. All too easy for them in the second half as our composure and workrate went awol. It's only March but from my side of the field it was not nice to look at. We're better than that.

Quite striking that cdalls players are doing the bulk of the score taking at intercounty

I didn't get to the match Skull. Were you missing any/many ? I think our plan has been to play as many U21's as possible with a few seniors added in. I hear we have a couple of promising U21's back in the fold which is good as we'll need them all come championship time.

Couldn't be arsed setting up another thread but will paste this on the other Antrim thread as well.

In recent years how many County players would you think that playing for the County looks better on their CV than being committed to the cause of bringing Antrim forward?

theskull1 · March 30, 2011, 10:45:37 PM

I'd be of the opinion that alot of players kindof sleep walk into it. Others may disagree.

We just haven't nailled the proper commitment thing when you get to County level. Some want to make things happen whilst some just seem to enjoy the ride (stay in the hotel sat night, play sunday

)

Could come a cropper here, Down have been scoring well have got off to great starts in their last few games, beat Antrim not long ago down there. Come Championship we will win but at this stage in our season I think we may well get beat.

Interesting to see McGourty at FB. MR2 - what's your reading of that? (as opposed to the corner)

Has Sambo taken up politics?

Saw him standing outside the gates of Stormont last night.

Magic's been hurling well for them too. Could be a position they try to target with alot of ball

the colonel · April 01, 2011, 04:05:51 PM

Dinny continues to baffle, firstly he puts McGourty in at full back against an in form, far bigger magic. Then when he plays Carson with no joy with plenty of criticism on here, he finally gets a couple of scores, a bit of confidence and gets dropped. Neil won't play FF in the championship so theres no point playing him there now

Paul Braniff was Full Forward for Down last week & is a far more consistent & bigger threat to Antrim. A super hurler when fully fit.

McGourty is an excellent fullback, played fullback for the club last season and for most parts didn't give his player a puck of the ball the whole game. Played full back after ten minutes against Loughgiel in the Championship and never give Dim Dim the ball (i know that not much)

That won't be the beating of us. Just playing Down in the league at their home pitch is the reason why i think we will get beat, Casement in the summer is different. As for Carson Colonel i would say if Cushendall had their full team out he would struggle to get on it.
