Title: Dublin Hurlers Get Double Header with Footballers
Post by: witnof on November 15, 2008, 11:07:12 AM
Good news for Dublin hurlers. They play there Q-Final LSHC match on June 7th before the Dublin-Meath match.

Good move to try and get some support in behind them, and also for Antrim that they get a run out at Croker in front of a large crowd. Right step in trying to help push an promote hurling in both counties.

Good to generate a bit of intrest/ excitement for the early stages of the leinster championship. But as has been said earlier there will probably only be about 5000 in for the throw in!! Still at least it is a step in the right direction

Jasus get over it .Did you suffer a heart attack when Antrim and New York played in the Ulster final?
Good idea to have a double header.

that dublin antrim match should be interesting especially with antrim wanting to prove that they are capable of giving the leinster a good crack at
dublin will be definitely up for it IMO as they would to show antrim that leinster is their domain and not antrims
would tip dublin to nick it (esp as they are playing in croker)

Thats a good initiative. Even if the stadium wont be full it should get a decent crowd.

It's a great appointment and exceeded my expectations of who they were aiming for...

Has Antony Daly moved to Dublin? Last I knew he was running a pub in mid clare and training greyhounds. From a purely hurling point of view he is a top class appointment however are Dublin not one of the ( few ) boards who refuse to pay an outside manager? Bit of a change in policy unless Antony now lives in Dublin.

An excellent coup for Dublin, with Anthony Daly, hopefully he can get all the best Dublin hurlers playing on the one team
