Ulster Club Hurling League

[North Antrim]

Aye your rite about the shams.....heard it was physical enough match. They won handy though. Was at Dunloy v Ballycastle match. Dunloy won by two points. Both teams were short a number of players. It was a good well fought game. Ballycastle played well and showed a good level of fitness.

[The Truth]

There seems to be a few teams have pulled out already, Dungiven & Lavey being 2 of them. It is a bit much asking teams to play Ulster League on Saturday night then All County the next day.

With Div1B now down to 4 teams with the withdrawl of the two Derry teams, Ballygalget and Ballycran rearranged a fixture for yesterday rather than next saturday night and the galgets came out on top by 9 points or so, can't be sure as the scoreboard was turned off seconds after the final whistle.
It was an entertaining enough game until Ballycran lost their corner back with a straight red for a wild pull, tommy mcintyre didn't really have much thinking to do about it.
After that it was really one way traffic although Ballycran did stage a bit of a fightback with Ballygalget getting a bit complacent and everyone wanting to be the free man.

Maybe the Ballycran management were making a bit of a statement by dropping Brendan McGourty for going away with the county footballers the previous weekend, which does seem a bit petty and may come back to bite them if they start breaking their own rules later in the year. Both McGourty and Andy Bell will make big differences to the team but it's the lack of firepower that is their downfall and I'm not so sure if any of the young guns that they are pinning their hopes on are there yet.

Glenariffe Oisins are down, according to the fixtures, to play Ballygalget next Saturday (21stApril).

We played Banagher at the weekend think they had a few missing, we had some missing as well but entertaining game and we are glad of it. Not too many teams playing at full strength yet so not sure how teams are taking shape for the year ahead.

Away to Ballycastle next week hopefully the weather continues.

The Banagher lads were saying they had a Derry League fixture the next day which seems unfair. Are the north Antrim teams putting out full teams next week the day before the All County League games? Tough ask as we had to sub a few of our dual players as they had football games the next day (we've 3 football teams) maybe 2 players didn't play the next day. With the hard ground injuries will mount up soon

We (Oisins) play on Sat in UHL and then ACL on Sunday as i think most teams do this coming weekend. We will probably play a weakened team in UHL as we are only using it to gain fitness and try some different players, league will take priority. But we will have a fair few fellows playing both games as we wouldnt have the numbers to put out 2 different teams for the 2 matches. I thought the UHL would work well this year as quite a few of  the ACL games were to be played on a Wed night, but evidently not. Lavey & Dungiven have pulled out of our section already due to fixyure demands.

Truth, this was the case alright until the hurling only clubs in N. Antrim asked for more Sunday matches saying they didnt care about the Ulster League that much - so the Div 1 Wednesday games were re-arranged to Sundays where possible to keep them happy.

[johnneycool]

Lavey haven't pulled out but are trying to rearrange their fixtures which would of left them playing a Derry league game at 6pm, UHL at 6.16pm on saturday night not to mention two football games on the sunday.

[nrico2006]

Anyone got a list of the results from the weekend? 

[theskull1]

You'd have thought that with all the paid administrators working at provincial level that somebody would be tasked with posting these results on the Ulster GAA website on a timely fashion

[nrico2006]

True, are the results not on the Irish News online version?

[theskull1]

Don't have the permissions
