Ulster Club Hurling League

[Syd The Sailor]

Cushendall are not entering it because they have been training pretty much non stop for the last year so they dont need the extra workload. It is in my opinion a half arsed competition, we rested players last year because we couldnt afford any injuries, at the end of the day teams have 2 priorities, to either stay in Div 1 of ACL or to win the championship......

CCC league proposals sent to clubs today.

Hurling leagues to start on 18th April with 7 rounds of games being played on Wednesday nights until they switch to Sundays on July 1st.

Coincidentally that means there are no hurling league games fixed for the day after Ulster games on Saturdays - only football so dual clubs will end up fielding weakened UHL teams while hurling only clubs can field what they want.

All proposals up for discussion with clubs in a meeting with CCC in a couple of weeks time.

From the Antrim Hurling Thread

So MadMIck & G2, can you not see why genuine hurling people have such a problem the UHL? Take for instance my club Dunloy. We have easily 11-12 dual players, 4-5 young fringe players who really need to get a run in the hurling team to come on. Our Senior Footballers will argue (and they have a point) that these players will need to be rested in the UHL because they will be fighting for survival in Div 1 of the Antrim Leagues and need players fresh going into these games. So our club will probably be playing with about 3-4 first team players in the UHL. Yes 15 players will be getting games, but as a competition it is what it is.....third rate

[Guillem2]

Having no hurling league games on the Sunday after a UHL match is excellent. Pity about the football leagues but the best solution for Dunloy is to get rid of the footballs!

[aontroim abu]

hear hear. i have heard though that Dunloy have told their players that hurling takes priority this year, if you miss training because of a football game then you wont play hurling that week

[theskull1]

Trying to succeed in both codes with essentially the same group of players is a real problem. There is a real chance of burn out as players try to please 2 masters if its not managed in some way.

[youbetterbelieveit]

bump, any confirmation on the start date.

[nrico2006]

Heard its around the 7th April

[Spiritof98]

Who are Shane O'Neills - re Div 3B

[youbetterbelieveit]

Shane O Neills GAC  is Glenarm, Antrim

[Spiritof98]

I might have missed this but did Setanta not get a ban from playing this year or has it been over turned.

Also, again excuse my ignorance but anyone know who Mac Cumhaills are?

[nrico2006]

Their ban was over-turned.  McCumhaills are Ballybofey.

[Spiritof98]

Their ban was over-turned.  McCumhaills are Ballybofey.

great!! that'll be the team building day out!!

[nrico2006]

Aye, if your down there on a saturday you may aswell hit letterkenny or strabane!

[Tyler Dearden]

The Ulster club Hurling league is the way forward, to improving the overall standard in ulster and particularly in derry. However are the county boards taking it seriously. Kevin Lynch's have been fixed to play glenariff in glenariff at 6.30 on saturday while they are scheduled to have a derry league game at 6pm in Dungiven. There are 3 times throughout the year that this happens and god knows how many time there are senior football games in derry fixed at the same time as ulster hurling league games. It is about time the derry county board stops talking bout promoting hurling and actually repects this league as it could prove invaluable to the derry clubs involved! Kevin ynchs alone will get qulaity matches against ballygalget, ballycran and lougheil in a competitive situation instead of just meeting them for a meaningless friendly while bangher and screen get games against dunloy, portaferry and rossa!
