I think your quite right in most points there HS the clubs did enjoy a lot of friendships over many years but it would be very wrong to say that the hurt is confined to posters on here.

Btdtgtt, the only possible way the long breaks will cease is if the clubs play without their County players and the Clubs your and mine refuse to do so for many logical reasons. I have studied the fixture list for years and i'm afraid its unfortunately as good its going to get at the minute,in my opinion.

Mr2 Our u21 game was on Saturday afternoon due to Dunloy having a fundraiser on Sat night so we agreed to move. Any u21s we had available were playing, except Paddy Mc Naughton, who went back to Wales to work on Sunday morning..
Some Result for St Kevins v St Johns tonight, who will take some beating , fair play to them.

MR2, Ruairi Og were anything but flat out yesterday, probably as bad a match as i have seen in quite a while. Both teams were missing players, well Cushendall were the Johnstons also missing along with Brian mcFaul.

Folks have any of lads stood beside Graffin recently? Let me tell you hes not small. As mr2 said he cleaned out the Ballycran fb on Saturday and set up a goal. After 10Min's he went onto Paddy Richmond against Dunloy, same result, yes Paddy's powers are waining, but he'd be my choice, hes a better fb than Hippy in my opinion. I did hear on the grapevine that they have been using Carson in training , now dint know how that would work out.

Lads , i can only speak on Cushendalls behalf , that in the last two years the league has been taken a lot more seriously due mainly to the fact that we are searching for new talent and that's were you blood kids try different things out. Anybody that was in the 100 or so at the Tain league final on Saturday in Casement will testify to Our effort in winning it. We had 2 new backs on and gave another young lad another 60 minutes hurling at senior level, We brought on young Eoghan Campbell in midfield and he did well, but we need new blood and quickly, over the next 2/3 years we have some great kids coming through so the league will be vital to us. Its to easy for outsiders to say we don't care but that's far from the truth.

Oisin Og I'd have to disagree with you on the DD, vote who i rate as current number one by a mile but my choice has to go to Shane Elliott who was superb for the County for at least 10 years, until injury cut short his career, but its all opinions.

Sie you clown, if you remember one of the players you refer to scored 1-1 when he came on, and if it wasn't for our idiot manager he would have started. And in two matches the previous week against your minors and reserves he scored 4-4 in each match. So plenty of time for the kid who i might add has lost some serious weight, remember the golden boy only scored about 5 from play against us in 4 county finals.

Sie I was also at last years league game and both teams were as bad as each other in the Slapping, if you really want to go over old ground, although none of our supporters struck Oran Scullion when he was hanging over the fence during one of the rows, yours did fact. And as far as supporters are concerned we all have our half wits, is the father of your corner forward not serving 2 years for extreme verbal abuse to Duffy and its not that long ago one of yours struck Herbie after the feis final. We have one deservedly  serving life , if we are coming on this forum and defending the undefendable the site will be a waste of time.

I could have been well off with the dates, but hey still a great win all the same, i dint agree that too much pressure is put on these kids too soon, only 2/3 will star at senior level but sure that's the same with any young team, young Burke who hurled chb yesterday had a stormer last night again in the Darragh cup, against the Shamrock who apart from young Carey in full back were afoul the score was 4-18. 0-2 Shamrocks didn't score for 55 Min's. Sambos son Christy is hurling daft and with the work he puts in I'd fancy him to become a senior his stick work is better than Shane's. There's also a kid from Larne on the team Cory beggs who is only 13/14 who could be a great prospect, and the young lad from Glenarm is Hugh Pat Magill is a great kid gutsy tenacious but stick work not great but that could improve, lots of others i didn't mention that could do it but that's the interesting bit for us coaches now to help them achieve their goals.

Just heard the result from the Foresters Cup, Garron Tower(St Killian's) beat St Marys by 2 points today in Ballymena, an unreal result for the Tower, first Foresters since 1975. Sambos son Christy net ed to steal it near the end, hes a great talent. The Dall must have had at least 6 on the team, Larne 4 . Just proves guts and application wins every time. Those lads will all line out tonight against Shamrocks in the First round of the Darragh Cup, fair play to the they've taken quite a few hammerings at the hands of St Mary's in the last few years.

Wouldn't like to misquote Watson, so if Sie has as he tells us the inside track perhaps he can tell us. But weather Dick sneaked in as suggested Watson really started all this crap., by telling you and then talking crap on FB. Why did he remove it? I suspect he sobered up or was told to wise up by his teacher. Can we leave it now.

Sie, if Watson was so keen on you informing the masses on this snub by Dick why why did he remove his drunken facebook rant from his status on Sun night Monday morning, why not have the balls to leave it on, or perhaps he realised it is something and nothing. Don't get me wrong i like quite a few Dall men have no real love for either, but do appreciate their hurling ability. We are all big boys, the lads have 2 weeks off training and go back to their clubs so hopefully it will be forgotten by then(depending on Sundays match though).

Heard the first Div 1 fixtures for the year

Shamrocks v Cuchullians
Ruairi Og  v Portaferry
Ballycastle v St johns
Ballycran v Ballygalget

i'm not sure if the last 2 fixtures are the right way round, will be some craic in Loughgiel.

Sie not that it changes the result , it may have but Neil broke his collarbone on 18 minutes in that final, so even if Magill had of forced a reply or a winner Neil was out for 6 weeks anyway. Neil wanted to continue and rightly or wrongly he did, shows his commitment to us. As i said earlier i dont think there is much between any of the three teams, Dunloy with new management as with the Dall will be busting a gut as will I'm sure Galls, so role on Easter Sunday.
