U know max that last point very good, cross passion done well, hurling men in other schools, there are a good few problem is they teach.  Like many good hurlers out there many work and dont have time to coach. friend teaches and trains school but we can'tvget him to train club, lazy bastard. Belfast schools always strong due to nos.  My old school in dire straights, used to be tops with shams, and dunloy players , now we are in b competition.  Tower seems to be on way back.  But cp and maghera main teams.

Schools the key, we used to play a primary school league against cushendun, corkey, glenariff, armoy but now teachers have a lot more deadlines.to keep and.male teachers especially in the primary are scarce.  Mate of mine teaches and he claims the county doesn't even supply balls.  Coaching, coaching and more coaching is key, coupled with games, games, blitzs etc.  County should fund underage as.much as.possible through giving budgets to schools and clubs for this.  Development officers.needed here. 

Talks about 88 with loughgiel, the article has a no of inaccuracies. 

Jesus this has been busy.  Meant comparison of 89 team don't go back far enough to remember the all Ireland winning team.  Woody, beaver the mckillops, dew, laverty I'd go for 89, though ballybrown beat them very and square and venue wasn't exactly neutral.  As for armoy having no team, load of shite.  glory hunting plain and simple, they're all the same.  Unless your at least, no more than couple of hours away.  Then you'll find they'll wear the new.club gear the most.  A disease most clubs have.  Cross as many as galls.

What is the loughgiel view point on managers remark about this being greatest bunch club has ever produced.  Has he forgot the big yin.  I reckon 89 crowd superior, though they had little armoy brilliance back then.  I'd say cause for great debate in pound.

Shams deserve their success, they've been on the road long time but still a good mix of young and old.  Where is laim mckillop and bobby mckinley both would be on my team if I was picking it

Yes drom & inch sort them out I would think, ballygunner and themselves are probably pick of munster.  Unless shamrocks can unearth a few more forwards.  Watson and benny good, well the latter has some form but think they could be held too easily.  Think eventual winners will come from either kilkenny wexford or galway.  But with this weather going to be long winter.  I'm sure loughgiel have blocked book dunloy already.  Some of the yocals will be disgusted, but could be a while before they're in all Ireland semi again.  Best showing ever was when they despatched glenmore and the o,connors. 

Yeah no superb team in munster I know, shamrocks however aren't really physical and that could go against them, its goin to be open, still no great fire power, evidence being in antrim. Ulster I am afraid just keeps getting poorer and poorer.  Weather pure shit Mr2 I'll agree but even on good day that final would have been dour affair.  Having refreshments back in house, beat Belfast and that weather.  Match wasn't great goin by scoreline.  Fair play to shams they can party now without quick turn around this time.  Say cross will be too many next week for cosmopolitan st galls

Sie my predictionn of shamrocks goin any further might be premature, Clare final poor standard, just think shamrocks forwards are physically that strong

Hear finished in casement 2-17 to 0-08 can this be confirmed, this is as far as shamrocks will go, good ballymena man as manager

Cheers Sie at a baptism and couldn't make it

Found out this guy Sam is some tube with poor reputation, no hurler, pat hamill manager of glenarm, fattened hamill a player is nephew.

on jerry wallis new back up team, sorry i know leo heatley was a referee, is this the same guy, ARE the other 2 like cork men or anything to waterford hartley.  Glad to hear he is taking league seriously.  one of my 2 or 3 critcisms of Dinny.  One of my mates knows a guy from St Johns who said Dinny liked to party.
