Antrim Hurling

[the colonel]

When was that?

[NAG1]

Well either has been or is going from what I have heard, also JC heading to England to see an ankle specialist?

If this game was played in Torr Head it wouldn't make a difference to the scoreline, Limerick are making serious movement at this level and gearing up for a crack at Waterford in the Munster championship. Dinny's selection and injury problems will mean at least a 10 point win for the visitors I'm afraid.

After the debacle of last season, Limerick, under O'Grady have concentrated on hurling and I don't think they will be in the mood to ease up on Antrim tomorrow in Loughgiel.

I'll be heading down in hope but with so many players playing out of position I can't see how we will get close to them.

PS.

Casement would have been better

You lot can't have everything up there, even though you'd like it all.

first field on the right i take it for the parking?

Shorty to play full forward today with shane and karl beside him. Looking to exploit lucey at full back. Graffin to play corner back with neil mcauley at wing back. I think it could be armstrong and mcguinness at midfield or one of them with mcfall. Certainly won't be as named, at least positional wise

Karl McKeegan? Don't think exploiting Lucey will be his game today, or any other day for that matter, Karl is not your natural forward, think i can say that, no better man (in his day) to attack a ball from defence, but playing corner forward at county level is completely different and against a team that is heading straight up to division one.

Its the team selection today that worries me, Not overly impressed with Armstrong, McGuinness, while a gifted hurler is too young and wouldn't have the strength to take the big hits that Limerick will be giving today.

is PJ O Connell injured or just out of favour at the minute?

Injured his knee in the Carlow match, still not fit

Antrim 0-5 Limerick 1-10.

I think I'll head up to the Pound!

[Milltown Row2]

Not great and, playing the team as the colonel said has proved disastrous

I concur.

That was rubbish today, Fair play Limerick coming down to the Glens and playing good entertaining hurling, thought there was going to be a lot of atmosphere, I've seen more people attend a Minor championship match and more atmosphere at a funeral!!! 

Last time in the Glens please, puts to bed the notion of making it harder for the opposition and the craics ninety!!!
It only annoys them and they give you a bigger beating.

Who thought this tactic of out pacing Lucey would work?? Sticking high balls into the forward line is a backs dream!!



Karl McKeegan is a back or midfield (but doubt he's fit enough at that level)

Ciaran McGourty is a corner/half back not a fullback.

McManus is too good to be in full forward, central position only.

Karl Stewart has played all his best games for Antrim from midfield.


Was standing beside Mark Foley (ex Limerick all Star) Decent buddy good crack and very knowledgeable of the club teams in Antrim and even my own team!! He was telling the Full forward for Limerick and the number 10 were only out of minor!! Big lads and they managed a few scores today.

Who was the kid Antrim brought on at corner forward late in the second half?? He'd need to start filling out a wee bit, there was more meat on a chicken wing than on his twigs!!

Limerick have 12 senior teams playing in 4 groups which affect how your final pairing are in championship, top eight (top two each group) straight into the quarters and the rest fight it of for relegation!!!

I like this format, Galway use it Kilkenny use it a few others use it also. needs looking into. But with the Down teams involved here it may not get off the ground.

PS referee watch: Hasson from Derry was refereeing it, i thought he was at an eighties disco!! the amount of times he waved his hands above his head was beyond belief. He was consistent though, consistently crap!!

Was that not young Chris McGuinness from Rossa?

Whoever has taken over milltown row's account again is making him look like a real idiot.

Any relation to this boy?

Eamon is a excellent referee, has done a few games already and did the line against us v Loughgiel last year

Milltown on the ropes.
