Joe Canning? Ben O'Connor, and thon auld lad that played for Buffers Alley Tony, christ, he scored a right few against Rossa. And of course not forgetting King Henry playing for Ballyhale.

The highest scorer ever in the club final MR2 and also the highest scorer in this years championship.

[Milltown Row2]

In both of those games what did he score from open play? Some achievement

[Seamroga in exile]

I think he scored 0-7 in the semi and 2-02 in the final from open play.

It makes ya wonder why he only scored 3 the year before against Gaels, 2 of which were frees.  But made up for in spades this year,   4-30 in total

Lets hope he turns that on for Antrim this year, half that would be great.

He would have to do it for a sustained period, at inter county level to be mentioned in the same company as the likes of Shefflin.

In fairness it's hard for him to do it playing with the other Antrim players, and against better defenders I'd imagine

Sure it wouldn't matter if he scored 3-7 every day he went on pitch,  always would be someone on here snipping!!   He done it for us when it counted!  Goes down for me as one of the best to ever hold a hurl,  sorry if it sounds like am his lover .  But he is THAT good!!   Plus it doesn't matter what he does for Antrim,  he won't get an all star anyway,  he done it for the shamrocks on the 17Th march 2012,  rest is history

[Milltown Row2]

No one is snipping, havent heard a bad word said about his hurling ability yet!!

Boy, ya's are wild protective when there's no need.

Tony Doran. I think he was 43 then.

Yeah, Dj and Henry are "steady eddies". 

Dunloy and the dall  had their fair share of "George Best" characters when they were the kingpins of Ulster Skull, in that regard the shams are far from unique.


Nearly all the so called "greats" of hurling have played in club finals. None achieved in scoring terms what Liam did last week, or for that matter what he did in the semi-final.  It's this that makes him the outstanding player today.

I'm sure we could agree on a few SIE but they'd be in a much lower league altogether. I suppose he was that talented loughgiel kept pandering to him because they seen him as their salvation from all those years in the wilderness and that has eventually worked out in regards to winning this past couple of years. I'm sure if I was a sham I could just about swallow the way he carried on for years now he's delivered on the biggest stage of all. Have a hunch though that some shams on principle would have liked to have seen them win their first championship without him.....you'll not get many to admit it now though 

I hope in the above post sleeping giant can find the appreciation of the mans talents amongst the critisicims that the man would probably admit to himself. I think thats a fairly balanced perspective rather than a snipe

[Seamroga in exile]

Unlike most people skull he has already admitted publicly to making many mistakes on and off the field. As I have said many times before I'd have him on the field no matter what because of what we seen him do recently. We've seen him do it before as loughgiel supporters right through from he was cub. The talent has always been there.   

He has been taking measures to improve himself. It seems to be working. Long may it continue.

am not saying the mans an angel.  but cant do nothing but it be dragged up,  we in our own wee parish did see what Liam was capable of,  couple of championships and a few ulsters,  now this,   where does a team go from here??

That's the problem, the only way is down after this, even the big teams find it hard to sustain the heights, always teams out there plotting the fall of the champions. I hope it's us

if we are to fail in the drive for 3 in a row MR2,  id rather it was use aswel;0)
