Tbh men i think that it will depend on our younger players rather than the older boys like Pinkie and Cossie.We had a strong U21 a few years ago and its up to them lads to now carry the senior team!

BlackandAmber

Havent been able to get to any of the towns first two league games.Who all have we still to come back in?

And a win for our reserves and what looks like a decent show against Ballygalget?Whats happened the reserve this year as the last game i was at the were slaughtered.

Also read in ydays Irish News that the winners on Ballycastle and St Johns in the McAuley cup play loughgiel?I didnt think lgiel would be enterig the competition with it so close to the final?A second string will be put out i presume?

Well men any views on how the town will go under Mickey McShane this year?

Loughgiel played well in the semi-final.But i get the feeling that they may have just played there final.Anyhow another season begins and having seen the draws think we could have some excellent games.I particularly like the look of the Dunloy v Ballycastle game. Also i think St. Kevins would be worth watching in the U21 as they have serious quality in the team and if they can get it moulded together would threaten.

SIE and Pdiddy this is why evry other club in Antrim hates lgiel.It is not down to jealousy it is down to the fact that your fans are horrible and your players are dirty.The abuse your fans give other teams is disgusting and the fact that yous openly defend acts of cowardly striking etc by your players is a disgrace.

Oisin i agree 100% but the way SIE etc were making this out you would think the Ballycastle players in question had assulted the lgiel players with sticks....ie comments like "could have been attending a wake today".It was quite obvious Skinner made a big deal out of something rather fickle.

And yes SIE hurling at tht standard maybe didnt help us come championship time against the likes of yous or Dunloy or Cdall but it has allowed us to blood alot of young players who have definatly improved our team.We now have a squad.I think we will only improve and will definatly stay up next year.

Have just got my account activated today so bear with me commenting on the Ballycastle game as well as the other semi-final.

SIE you are a disgrace.Did u actually see the two challenges??Skinner was blown up for a foul(over carrying i thnink) he then went on to shoulder Neal McAuley in the chest and then tried to salk off with the ball.Hippy shoulderd him and he fell.Hippy then took the ball off him and went to hit the free.At which point the umpire made the call. Mattys red card was for what?Standing his ground and taking the shoulder of the runner?how many times does this happen in both hurling and football.A yellow card offence at worst. However i do agree that yes yous wud probably have won the game as our boys hadnt got into the game at all.But again your statements that A) This is the worst town team is wrong and B) That Duffy was a 9/10 is complete tripe. He let the likes of Skinner get away with wild swings in the first half yet when ballycastle players gave it back in the second half he sent them off.

In the other game Cushendall were very lucky and St Galls certainly improved since we played them in the league.Also would like to wish Cdall best of luck in final as after lgiels antics on sat and through these message boards would hate to see them win anything.Horrible team+horrible fans!!
