Lecale - O'D's and Sars are in there under their proper names;

Cardinal O'Donnells
Padraig Sairseil

As for Crowley's they folded a few years ago.

And what exactly are you going to be flogging  More tickets?

Randal McDonnell was also playing (minor 2 years ago?)

I see Sambo & Woody are blooding on their minors while the 'Dall contingent are absent.....

Antrim v Down Senior Hurling Challenge 15 January 2007

Antrim and Down senior hurlers played a friendly on Saturday 13th Jan at Mallusk in very wintery conditions.

Down started brightest with a goal and a point before Antrim replied with their first point through Johnny McIntosh, followed up by ponts from Kieran Kelly, Karl Stewart, and McIntosh again. Paul Shields then scored a goal and point for Antrim with McIntosh adding a goal to his tally before half time. Down had scored a goal plus 2 further points to leave the score at half time Antrim 2-5 v 2-2 Down.

Conditions worsened in the 2nd half with both teams making many changes at half time. Antrim scored another 6 points in the second half through Liam Watson, Paddy Doherty, Paul Shields, and Johnny Campbell while Down added another goal to leave the final score Antrim 2-11 v Down 3-2.

Anyone bought it yet today? Anything worth the read?

SLight advantage to the Galway teams for the mullingar games - no need for hotels and the like for them - cant see the antrim clubs going down the morning of the matches.

They would need to have some very unique insights on McKenna Cup games if it doesn't appear 'til Friday when everything will be talked to death by the dailies and discussion boards.

Just got emailed this...

"Due to a bereavement within the immediate family of a Stewartstown official, the Intermediate Football Semi Final Replay between
Stewartstown and Ballymacnab, scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday 6th January has been postponed."

Looks like a stronger league than last year with all major Antrim clubs from Div 1 & 2 entered for 2007 - looks like CLooney are the only team from Div 1 & 2 not to enter.
