Antrim Hurling

[imtommygunn]

The minors did very well up until about 50 minutes NAH though Dublin pulled away a bit in the end. It sounded like a decent enough performance though still a defeat obviously but at least we put up a good fight.

Who do the u21s play now? Is it wexford or munster winners? Much tighter against derry then we'd care for it I guess but hopefully they can push on. Campbell still u21 - seems to have been about a long time.

Yeah Tommy
Play Wexford on 12 sept
They will be looking for revenge Imm sure from the last semi
I was following Dublin minor game on Twitter ( club commitments ) they where 4 points in it halfway into second half
Did Dublin find another's gear or did our lads tire
11 points isn't the worst beating we got
Seems to be lot of those minors will make good seniors
Sorry for going of track and asking about something relevant to the future

Wexford

Yeah Campbell still U21..he's been running around targeting players for years now

Minors were 1-6 to 0-1 down at a stage I seen. If they'd have got off to a better start who knows? Add to that the players that could have been there but weren't.

In another county there'd be proper build up and interest in these games. In Antrim it was just another game that needed played. Our support base is shocking

It's much more interesting than "the truth" NAH!

Yeah it was tight up to the 40-50 minutes but then they pulled away. I think sometimes, even if we're close to the level of southern teams, we tire a bit as they've more games against higher quality opposition and are much mroe up to the pace of the game due to that.

Wexford are handy - that FF wil be hard to watch. 1-10 against KK plus assists in a fe wother goals and setting up a lot. He cleaned the senior team out last year.

Thanks for the report tommy
Yeah fitness levels and sometimes we have to work harder than the other team to try and contain them which expends energy
If Dublin go deeper into the minor championship we can take some heart from it

Wexford might be a bridge to far this time but a close final score would be good

I wasn't at it but just followed it on twitter.Don't get to as many games as I would like these days unfortunately.

Be interesting to see how the dubs do later on alright.

Yes I think the u21s have a tough task but then you never know as I think we would have said that the year we made the final. I think this wexford crop of u21s is the best to come out of their county for a while and they've high hopes for them in their county. Still - you never know.

Hate to say this but u21s are going to get smashed. They didnt impress too much against Derry who didnt get the opportunity to train together before that match.

at least 15 points

From what I heard of the minor game Dublin ran away with it and took their foot of the pedal and when Antrim came back to within reach Dublin took off again.

U16's will pay £2 into all Championship games this summer. Disgraceful! Discuss ....

Unfortunately, I think the above is the reality.

Fair play to the minors. Again, like others here, was only following it on twitter but at 1-4 to 0-0 after 8 minutes was fearing the worse. Impressive enough that they were able to get back into it and to stay competitive after the break. All too often we struggle manfully for the first half and the opposition kills us off with a few quick goals after the resumption. It seems we kept going for the full game here, which hasn't often been the case with our minors and the players (and management) deserve credit for it.

When and by who did this get decided?

I would assume this is within the remit of the County Board.

"The Truth" ..... that's funny....it's almost as if there's one version of "The Truth"

3 Versions of the truth, yours, mine and the actual truth.  Up to others to decide then.

So me & the wife & the 3 kids need to pay £26 to watch a county final? Think I'll follow it on Twitter!
