Antrim Hurling

[Milltown Row2]

11 changes to the team for the final vs Armagh.

Team named last night?

Would be silly to have that many changes, would he have changed it had he been playing Down?

Armagh gearing up for their first Ulster final in god knows how many years (not sure they have ever been to one) and will come at us from the whistle. They may not have the skill of some of the Antrim players but won't lack fitness nor motivation

1. C Cunningham

2. C McGuinness
3. K McGourty
4. J McCouaig

5. K McKeague
6. M Donnelly
7. C Herron

8. Barry McFall
9. S McCrory

10. J Scullion
11. T McCann
12. E McCloskey

13. P Doherty
14. C McFall
15. K McKeegan

And Paddy Power don't have any betting for the game!!! Antrim should win but I'd be very wary of that team and it would certainly give Armagh a serious chance.

In the ideal world you should be playing your strongest team leading into the real big games to keep momentum. Only my view of course and Dinny would certainly know his players better than I

[Seamroga in exile]

I would still fancy this team to win handily enough.

I would be worried about that team Dinny is playing. These lads might think it is only a matter of showing up for this match but Armagh will be really pumped up and ready to give it a go. Might be a big upset in this match

[imtommygunn]

All these guys are playing for places though so it's no bad thing from that regard and hopefully will avoid complacency.

I hope Armagh don't treat it as disrespectful - I think it's more against the ulster championship and priorities than armagh.

Dont care about Armagh, Antrim should still be beating them out the gate with that team.

The guys who are not playing regularly should in theory be extrmely fired up for this to prove themselves now they have got their chance.

At £13 a skull, there won't be a gate.

With the leinster final on  . Completely headless

Has Dinny put his toys back in the pram?

[Milltown Row2]

Jonty is no mug, he knows the Antrim team really well, strengths, weaknesses and form of the players. Should Antrim fail to take the game to Armagh the we could have a shock on our hands

Wouldnt matter what he is or isnt won't make a difference, silk purse and sows ear springs to mind. I dont care what team DC has picked the boys who come in could be more dangerous to Armagh than the regulars.

Good to see a 4th team coming into the mix but I think it says more about Downs state than it does about anything else.

True NAG1 about Down hurling. I'll hold judgement on selection till after game

I'll not. Collie McFall at 14 is going to be interesting. He puts his hand up to every ball with his head buried between his knees.
First off.

So who would we prefer - Limerick or Galway??? Have to say Galway myself notwithstanding the big score tonight.

Galway would beat us really badly.

[Forever Green]

Fcuk playing Galway. At least we might have a chance of beating Limerick.
