Was good to see Mick Byrne getting one over the Cargin brigade who kicked him out of the county setup and then seeing his replacement in the other net play so poorly.

I've always thought Byrne was the best keeper in the county and that was just one of the many mistakes the Cargin royalties made when letting their own club bias get in the way of decision making.

How'd they kick him out?

Was told this from a few of our lads who were in the camp, I don't need to go into any major detail as it is quite obvious what happened.

But when Mick McCann first came into the setup, a lot of the decisions he made were with his green tinted glasses on. One of his first missions was to bring in club mate McNabb to replace Byrne who had never put a foot wrong for the county and was actually regarded as a top keeper across the country. Mick insisted on bringing Ginny in to start who had never once commited to the county before and Byrne was told he would be playing a backup role. He done just right to leave the panel and go play for his club and I'm sure he enjoyed that revenge yesterday.

How do you go from a 20 point hammering at Dunloy to two top drawer consecutive performances! Maith thú Rossa and Sean

I'll say it again...straight knock out is where it is at!!

Ballycastle. Double header with the JFC

Cheers. Two conflicting posts there with yours and the one below. Not sure if the other post is being sarcastic.

I'm being a d**k.

I'm assuming Corrigan again.

Ah

What a naive way to look at it, both these teams weren't at peak stage for their opening games of group as they both knew they were playing the best team in group and had the safety net of finishing second.

You are actually proving his point here further that knockout is the way to go to get rid of these early shadow boxing stages.

Yes Tyrone have paved the way for everyone. Don't start league until county season over then all teams at full strength and can put more emphasis into it, followed by a straight knockout championship.

At a bare minimum I would allow the current all ireland structure which we see Derry and Down adopt but seeded group phase stage has to go it's a load of shite and as the Biddies and Rossa have gone on to prove it is irrelevant.

if Rossa don't let the Biddies to get too far ahead they've every chance in the final.  Wouldn't want to be trying to claw that gap back in every match.

Depends if the biddies learn how to shoot in the next week and a half

Creggan? Portglenone? Cargin?

recently it has been the day before senior final, and mostly in dunsilly. which is a fair neutral venue for Glengormley and crumlin
Although Ballymena and St Teresas 2 years ago was in Toome, which again would be a good shout.
