How come there was so few games played this weekend?

Yesterday was to be kept free of Club fixtures in all counties to facilitate La na gClubanna - obviously some (like SW board) took the chance to slot in divisional games.

Antrim County Board,

We, the Antrim Senior County Footballers, are writing to you as a collective to voice our anger and
extreme frustration at the recent decision taken by members of the County Board. This decision
identified a member of our team for an alleged incident that occurred against Armagh on the
25th March 2017. Croke Park officials issued an image of the alleged incident and requested the player
to be named. County Management and two members of the County Board reviewed the image and it
was agreed that the player could not be identified with total certainty. Subsequently, the player was
then identified, without consulting County Management. This resulted in a suspension which was later
successfully appealed. It was only after the County Board identified this player a second time that a
second suspension was issued. As a result, the player in question could potentially miss the biggest
game of the year against Donegal in the Ulster Championship.
We find it unacceptable that not only was this player suspended as a result of information provided by
our own County Board but that there was no county representative available to accompany him for his
appeal. We do not believe that this course of action would occur in any other county.
Unfortunately, as a team, we cannot stand by and allow this mistreatment of our teammate. We feel
we need to make our concerns clear to our County Board that we find it completely unacceptable that
any player who has dedicated months of hard work and sacrificed many parts of his life to represent
his county should be treated in this way and let down by representatives who are purportedly in a
position of support.
This decision will be contested again and we would expect full support from our County Board in this
matter.
Faithfully,

Antrim Senior Football Team

[The County Hurling management team would like to request that our County players do not play on Sunday 23rd in the All County League fixtures. All players can resume playing for their club the following Sunday 30th April. We feel that the two games on Saturday 22nd and 29th April are of the utmost importance to the progression of the County team in our All Ireland championship campaign. We feel that preparation for these two games needs to be fully in our hands. As we hopefully progress we can then assess the needs of the clubs and the County. Hope this meets with your approval]

Keep the bar out of any plans and you'll benefit from 0% rates from this year on if you are registered as a CASC.

[On a side note does anyone know where you could get borax?]

Bought a house recently, it was a repo and obviously needed someone attention but is a good house. the sitting room floor is wooden and we asked the estate agent to turn the water off while we bought it. They turned it off, disconnected the water to the tank and opened all the radiators.
Anyway we dont know if there is a connection but the day after getting the keys there is a rise of nearly two inches in the wooden floor beside where the radiator is in the sitting? would we have any come back and does anyone have any ideas?
This wasn't there either of the two times we first looked at the house.
On a side note does anyone know where you could get borax? I'm based in Belfast at the moment but moving into mid ulster.

Cheers in advance

I've used this lot before with no hassle Longshanks.  Plenty of choice for product based on what you're treating - eg. Woodworm / Dry Rot / Wet Rot etc.

A Chairde,

Ref; Antrim Senior Hurling Management.

At a meeting earlier today in the offices of Antrim GAA the current senior hurling manager, PJ O'Mullan, has decided to step down from his post due to personal circumstances. PJ would like to thank the back room team and the county board for their support and assistance during his time in charge. The county board would like to thank PJ and his back room team for their efforts and wish PJ the best of luck for the future.

Antrim GAA will meet to consider its options regarding the management of the team for the upcoming Christy Ring campaign.

Funny feeling I heard a rumbling that it's 3 down (and one up from Div 2)  to leave the 8 teams.

Found Magowan Tyres in Mallusk to be the cheapest for tyres last month when I needed to get them replaced - great service too.

If the latest craze is low carb high fat, well what foods do you get all this 'high fat' from?

Have a look at the Green list on this link:

http://realmealrevolution.com/real-food-lists

Cut out all wheat/grains and refined sugar, and drastically increase your (good) saturated fat intake and you'll see and feel such a difference.

More and more scientific studies moving the way of low carb, high fat diets.

Head to head is determined by who has the better score difference over the 2 meetings,  so unless each team beat each other by the same amount,  it won't go to overall score difference.

Simpsons newsagents on the main street in Antrim sell them.

Think the last update at a county meeting ages ago mentioned that planning was being sought for the changing rooms (road side of the railway line) and that there were also offices and car parking as a separate phase depending on money.

The whole thing has been a cluster fcuk from the day St. Comgalls talked County exec into joining forces to create this monster!  They should have stuck to their guns with the green-field site that was bought (and still owned?) at Ballygrooby during McSparrans time, that would have been a straight forward construction project with little or no issues concerning access / archaeological digs etc. (hear that one cost the guts of £1m!)

Pitches at Dunsilly were sowed out and ready a few years ago and then left to ruin as nobody was maintaining them - so they had to be re-sown costing more money! 

Money is the main problem with progress at Dunsilly.

Thanks Aontroim. Is the date 22 August of any significance?

Don't think there's any special significance apart from giving them time to contact nominees and put something forward to next Co. Committee in early September.
