tir na nog v lamh derg in the ihc quarter final will be worth a watch!!

Two evenly matched teams could go either way but i expect Lamhs to win this one.

They beat us not long ago and by all accounts (wasn't at it) they played really well. Though we aren't great and haven't been training

JHC result-Ballymena 0-17 0-3 Ardoyne

Div 2 result-Gort na Mona 0-9 0-19 Ballycastle

[Last Man]

JHC result  St.Endas    3-5   1-9  McDermots.  Very bad tempered affair culminating in a mini brawl after the final whistle. one of the Endas players reacted to a slap and got involved in a wresling match with a McDs man, another McDs man bowled over into the 2 of them slipped and the 2 boys fell on him breaking his leg. A good few of the rest of the McDs men then went nuts as they thought we had broken their mans leg. One guy swinging at peoples heads with his hurl, another polaxed a 17 year old kid who was walking off the pitch. Some of their lads helped calm things down but theres a good few psycos in that club that shouldn't be allowed to hold a hurl.

Mc Dees back to doing what they do best??

In fairness we haven't had a major battle with them in a right few years but Championship usually brings that outta them, mind seeing them in a play off match years ago with Cloughmills,  murder picture 

Big shock there I've noticed that Sarsfields were beat by St Teresas

Bit of trouble at the C'dall B'castle minor championship match lastnight?  Managers and all in?

Game was into injury time with Cushendall at least 7 or 8 points ahead and they won a free about their own 15/20 yard line.  One of the Ballycastle players (I think it was their no.14 Saul McCaughan - open to correction) threw a kick and all hell broke loose amongst the players.  Ballycastle subs and supporters entered the fray first, followed by Cushendall.  Resulted in one red card for Ballycastle's Saul McCaughan.  Cushendall won by 10 points.

There was people associated with both clubs at this match who acted disgracefully so dont come on here trying to take the moral high ground on behalf of Cushendall. I think the referee could have nipped it in the bud before it escalated...he didnt and its now up to him to deal with it through his report. End of story.

If you take a look at my post again you'll see that I never even mentioned the actions of anyone who entered the pitch, as I am perfectly aware that both sides have things to account for.  I merely stated that someone from Ballycastle was the first to go over the fence, but yes, so did people from Cushendall - it shouldn't happen anyway.  I'm not taking any moral high ground.

I agree with you that the referee could have done more to stop it becoming what it did.  He seemed to just stand back and watch the beginnings of the brawl as if he was waiting to see something to give someone the line for..but it quickly got out of hand.

Is that not his job?  He's not a bouncer !!

[maxpower]

i'm with pdiddy, why would a referee get involved, no one is oing to protect him

[NAG1]

Yeah totally against what any referee would be told to do.

Time for some serious action to be taken. No back door agreements no pandering to clubs, stand up and stick to the rules, going to be a sad day when someone ends up dead as a result of one of these brawls.

Nah I didn't mean that he should have been getting involved in between the players, but he didn't even blow his whistle after the first incident.

I hear someone got skelped on the sidelines at the Cloughmills/Rasharkin game.

Go on then...more (second hand) details please.

He got a thump for being "ill bred" from a certain "Rasharkin" man who hurls in different colours. Heard it from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
