With the johnies in the senior hurling final today, minor b hurling  and minor b football finals and an u21 preliminary football championship game all the be played in the next sevens days, how will the county board square that circle?

Big result for Portglenone in the camogie. They beat the favs Cushendall to get to the final so they seem to have a good squad of players.

Most of the team won the Feile A Camogie also.

It's good to see for the game that it's not the same teams winning at underage over and over again.

Think there will be some battles between Pg1 and Cushendall over the next few years in camogie. Was at that Feile final as a lot of our gaelic team play for Cushendall. Cant remember the wee girls name but she was midfield and in both halves set the tone with brilliant scores right from the throw in.

It's good to see for underage camogie but they will struggle to make roads at senior level as they are a long way off that atm.

Even for Cdall having all those good underage players from Cdun etc who play for them doesn't just create a good senior team.

Dunloy and Lgiel will be knocking lumps out of each other for some time to come for that title.

Tbf i did mean in the juveniles. I do think Cushendall will continue to get closer to those big two at senior but theyre still a bit young.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

For sure.

Cushendall have some talented players who are around 17-20 age in their senior team.

Dunloy's average age would be about 24 for their starting team with Lgiels a bit higher.

There's a lot of work to be done for them to get up to that.

But yes, for sure it's good to see a change at underage on the trophies.

Owenbeg would have suited and probably would have headed up if it was a Sunday 2pm job, not sure now

Be interesting to see how Dunloy adapt, plenty of Derry knowledge in their camp so ya never know, Newbridge probably won't allow too much space for the Elliots, Molloy and Cunning to get on the ball

The Peter Healy playing for Ballyboden - it's not the former Antrim player is it?

Living in Dublin for the past decade, he transferred from St Enda's Glengormley to St Enda's Ballyboden.

Yes Healy is an excellent player and was a big loss for Naomh Eanna. You'd expect him back with Antrim although if he's based in Dublin he may not be able.

Any word on the new Antrim managers backroom team? Had heard he was struggling to get people. Surprised he was appointed without a backroom in place. Mick McCann is a good one although he hasn't any coaching experience. He'll need a few more men I'd have thought.
