Antrim Hurling

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

The Glenariffe/Glenravel project has worked well at under age, especially for Oisins as they will benefit at at adult level more with the success they have had.

There was a good few good hurlers from Glenravel in that amalgamation team so you can only hope they get to see the rewards from it as well at senior level.

Oisins will find the first year tough going but with teams missing county players in the league series they will pick up wins i don't doubt.

Interesting though at U12 level Glenariffe ploughed their own way in 2025 whereas previously they had been amalgamated with Cushendall up to U14 level as Gael Na Glinti. They seem to have enough numbers to push on themselves so you might see them ending the amalgamations at underage and go their own way without Cushendall & Glenravel.

And when the numbers change again with the birth rates and so on they'll revert back to joining up with the other teams.. people can't afford the housing as much in the likes of Glenariffe and Cushendall and being forced out to Glenravel. which in the long run will benefit them

My sources tell me that it was Cushendall that pulled the plug on Gael Na Glinti as they'd young lads on the bench not getting much game time. I'd presume they were younger kids though, but can't be sure.

Is U12 in North Antrim 15 aside?

It isn't in Down and we can get the 11 out OK, but we know we're really going to struggle to get 15 on the pitch come U14 and beyond in the next few years and that's including all boys in the four calendar years that will be eligible.

No new houses in the parish for quite a while now and that's having an impact big style.

Glenariffe had full panels at this age group (more than 15 players) pre the amalgamation. Could never understand what was in it for them and why they decided to pair up when they didnt need too.

You don't always have that flow every year, I mean last years Glenariffe/Glenravel U-16 team was about 70% Glenravel, whereas was probably the opposite the previous year.

It varies from year to year and you probably can at a stretch get enough of your own but end up playing kids that are 3/4 years below the age limit. Doesent serve anyone

[NorthAntrimSaff]

Would be interesting to see numbers. How many did Glenravel have? how many had Glenariffe and how many are still hurling. Obviously theres a natural drop off in any team/club. The wee lad at u16 who quit because of no gametime/not strong enough(YET) for div 1 could be needed come senior

15 a side where possible but there will be teams who play less when they play their games. As they are go games its up to the clubs to ensure that everyone gets game time where possible.

To be honest it served them well as they were winning all around them. When you have trophies coming year after year you wont find many voices against that amalgamation within the clubs.

Never understood how they were allowed to amalgamate at the start whenever they fielded two sides one year. How can you field two teams and need to amalgamate with another club? Anyway thats done and gone now.

Always made me laugh when you seen both clubs saying they were county champions whenever they won one lol you cant have it both ways when you're an amalgamation club 

But its def done well for Glenariffe when you see the progress of the young lads up to senior level. Hopefully they do well in the first year and can build on it.

[NorthAntrimSaff]

They also do/did accomodate Glenarm players along in the amalgamation

Sour grapes there?

[NorthAntrimSaff]

Very unlucky!

[Deerstalker]

Today was the time to beat them, very young experimental Wexford team

When was the last time we had an away league win vs a team above us in the rankings

How?

Stating the obvious about two clubs fielding two teams while being an amalgamation? Granted they only did it for one season but seriously if you had that many numbers then merging was hardly needed.

Oisins have done well from their amalgamations over the past few years, prob more so compared to Glenravel & Glenarm in terms of senior development.

As i said before, i hope they do well in D1 this year. The club that has come up over the last number of years has went back down as quick as possible, which isnt much use.

Proposal going to February Congress for any dissent to the referee on pitch or from the sideline will result in sliothar being forward 30m
If dissent happens at half time break , the game will restart with a 20m free to the opposition!
Davy may curb his enthusiasm for the refs
