Antrim Hurling

[Saffrongael]

Just Div 1 or across all 4 Divisions ?

Clubs were made aware last week via email there would not be promotion. The first they made aware of it, despite what was discussed and agreed at CC

I remember this being talked about a few months back

How can you change the rules once the season has started ? I know it's Antrim and all but still

Promotion/Relegation in the hurling leagues have changed mid stream manys a time in Antrim and for as long as I can remember, so not a new thing.

Yes has happened many times both as a player and manager I've seen it happen and not for the good in my personal experiences

The Cats are in town on Sunday. Personally I am looking forward to seeing TJ in championship action up close in what could well be his last season of inter county. Antrim will be up against it alright but the national league match was competitive even if Antrim never looked like winning. Hopefully its another entertaining game of high quality hurling and who knows we might give them a scare or two.

So Antrim hurling leagues -

Div 1 - one team relegated.

Div 2 - No promotion & bottom two relegated to Div 3

Div 3 - No promotion & bottom team relegated to Div 4

Div 4 - No promotion

Yes.

Wouldnt it be class if we had a full time Secretary who could actually spend time making sure this kind of thing doesn't happen.....

It's ridiculous

[Milltown Row2]

Not defending anyone here but surely the clubs vote these things in? No or has that changed also

[Saffrongael]

What's the reasoning for no promotion ?

[imtommygunn]

Are there not rules and laws etc in place to say the clubs have to vote these things in place?

Div 3 - No promotion & bottom team relegated to Div 4

Div 4 - No promotion

So we end up with 10 teams in Div 1, 2 + 3 and 7/8/9 in Div 4 depending on what happens with Larne and Henry Joys?. its not a bad structure ( I always prefered 8 team divisions, 14 games, 7 home 7 away). however it should have been agreed and voted on before the start of the league and there should be play offs at least for the teams winning division 2,3 and 4

Seaan Elliott injured ? Will miss his pace and ball carrying ability. Niall McKenna back though so a good boost

[Saffrongael]

Today probably went as expected, we didn't really challenge at all. It's going to come down to the Westmeath game. McManus looked in bad enough shape going off

[Milltown Row2]

3-20 is some shooting, yes albeit that Kilkenny had the game won at half time

We didn't win much primary ball or second ball, their running off the ball and support play was excellent

Speed of play at a different level also, cross field balls into space

It's always been about Westmeath and securing another year at this level but with the injuries mounting it will be hard
