Ballycastle away to hell & on the hook for an expensive enough managerial ticket this year too
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Rossa and Dunloy to Semis

Loughgiel v St Johns
Cushendall v St Endas

Loughgiel St. John's a good one. I doubt that is an expensive managerial ticket.

As things stand .......the pecking order is probably Dunloy, Rossa then Cushendal. Some might argue Dunloy, Cushendal then Rossa. Loughiel and St John's a bit behind again then St Endas. Ballycastle and Randalstown out of their depth.

Think most would agree with that

does anyone know if the quarter final winners is an open draw for the semis?

Not quite sure its fair to say ballycastle are way off the mark.
On any other day they'd be st endas & competed alot better against rossa/loughuile than their opponents yesterday. That being said massive win for St.Endas and as club on the up can certainly only be a good thing for their own and the counties development.

Dunloy certainly the bench mark for a championship & have been for the last number of years. I'd agree they're closely followed by Roses/Cushendall. Then st johns/loughuile. I'd still pit St endas/bcastle at the same level. Unfortunately for Tir Na Nog credit for stepping up and congrats for winning intermediate last year but they're a team I don't think would even make an intermediate final this year and another few years back at intermediate probably do them best to progress.

keep her low this half

It was good to see Rossa beat a big name in Loughgiel. In fairness to Loughgiel they are in a rebuild phase bringing through a number of young players and they are not gone from the championship yet and are still a dangerous team. St Johns have not really put in a big performance this year yet and if they don't produce one soon this group of players will have missed their chance and their juvenile structures are not great. Great result for St Endas particularly in Ballycastle. Ballycastle a bit like Loughgiel have brought in a lot of young players this year but Loughgiel are managing to perform at a higher level. As others have said Dunloy are still the benchmark but there is a lot of hurling to be played yet and someone could surprise Dunloy in a one off match yet. Plenty to look forward to.

Johnies hit 1-26 yesterday and kept us honest to the death, Rossa hit 21 against 10 men for most of the match. Johnies definitely improved since last year.
