Antrim Hurling

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

The pitch was in no shape to take a game at all. The amount of rain has just left it saturated and it never gets a chance to dry out.

Our pitches are closed from Jan-Feb as a rule for the club trainings so its not unusual for no one to be on the grass yet.

I dont see much hope for it for the next game unless it stops raining for a while.

Dublin game possibly to Cushendall again then? Or Ballycastle?

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

I dont think either is an option.

Last id heard was Cushendall's ground staff said not a chance again as the pitch was left in bad shape after the Clare game. Ballycastle pitch is closed and they said no.

They even said no to hosting Cross & Passions All Ireland semi final game.

[Saffrongael]

Think Corrigan is the only option as the pitch is getting relaid anyway

[Dunsilly King]

Wonder why Dunloy haven't put down a prunty pitch so they had a surface they could play 12 months of the year. Taking into ma account their facilities its seems a good question?

Dublin game is at corrigan

[FirstToTheBall]

Coby out with a broken jaw, big miss for the remaining league games

That poor fella has no luck

Coby out with a broken jaw, big miss for the remaining league games

Will that put him out for the Mc Donagh campaign also?

[Deerstalker]

Another chastening day, like a training session for Dublin

[FirstToTheBall]

Same old tactics from davy fitz, lump the ball into one forward surrounded by 3/4 defenders.

The amount of times we run into trouble or overplay and overcomplicate things would drive ya insane.

[BrendanAntrim]

To be fair I don't think it was the same sparse attacker numbers as previous games. We usually did have at least a couple of forwards inside toddy. Ironically the Antrim score of the day came from Ruairi Donaghy winning his own ball and intelligently flicking home.

He looks to be a strong addition to the team this year.

Dublin are currently a level - or 2 - above us atm.

Brutal tactics from Antrim again on Sunday.
Whatever Davy had in his head it didn't work, we hadn't the personnel to deliver it!
Surely we've more physical players in the county if we are to play that sort of game...

More physical than that Dublin team? We don't have that calibre of strength height and skill to match Dublin..

We've tall lads and skilful but they are more tall strong fitter skilful players.

You can play a trillion different tactics but we are way off Dublin and if Cody was taking us we'd get the same result.

The strength and conditioning needs to be started around 15/16 years of age, come senior they are already having a base to improve their strength and conditioning going forward.
