Antrim Hurling

[Kidder81]

I wonder can we knock the "Fortress Corrigan" on the head now

Anyone else getting fed up with the fawning over teams/ players by our own social media?

We are in the same league as these teams on merit, would it be too much to ask to start acting like it top to bottom?

I agree, maybe talk about our own players a bit more.

Been a bug bear of mine for a few years now.

Yes these visiting teams are heroes to our young ones no harm in that.

But lets promote our own and try and drive it internally, instead of this falling over ourselves to suck up to all concerned.

That's part of it too. The likes of TJ and Jason Forde etc. playing in Corrigan Park. That in itself promotes hurling and I understand where you're coming from.   That's just the way lads will go to these lads after the game.

A lot of lads getting stuff signed by Neil Mc Manus and Ryan Elliot etc. That's good to see also.

Great that they can play in Corrigan on big days.  I wouldn't be too harsh.

I'm not being too harsh on the young lads/ lassies after the game, totally understandable.

My issue is that it is a whole system thing within Antrim hurling, we seem to feel this kind of sycophantic appreciation that these great teams come up to play us.

It's a mindset issue IMO, I've said it before on here we should be making it at difficult as possible for these teams. We are in the same league and championship as these teams for a reason, we are there to compete.

Is it just me or are we seeing more walkovers/teams not fielding than normal ? Creggan and Ahoghill didn't take place last night in Div2

[imtommygunn]

I see county players, some anyway,  were playing last night. That's actually good to see.

When the county clearly dont care about the leagues then can see why clubs might have the same attitude.

Yes and I think that's what it is, they are glorified challenge games now, unless you are threatened with relegation

[NorthAntrim]

Someone informed me Creggan have failed to field two games in a row

[NorthAntrim]

At the minute its not looking pretty for them in Division 2. And what has happened to Gort na Mona. Back to back relegations pending!

[Cnoc Bán]

3 games in total they haven't fielded, even against us their nearest rivals which you would think they would be up for a game in.

Not sure what the story is.

Football not going to great at the minute either although that won't be a concern as they will lift it before championship.
