Antrim Hurling

[Jesusjones]

If ever there was a case that places in championships should be decided by league positions it was those 2 debacles yesterday. High time we simply had the top 8 Antrim teams in the leagues go into the senior quarter finals, the next 8 intermediate and the rest junior. I only caught the closing stages of the Loughgiel v St. Galls match but the scoreline and the atmosphere spoke for itself. In our match it was 2-6 to 0-1 after 7 minutes... game over. Creegan played a match in Owenbeg last year before us and the team they had out that day might have given us a game. But everybody knows they have thrown everything into the bog ball this year, haven't had the time for enough hurling preparation, haven't had the players for matches. Rock bottom of division 2 and it showed yesterday. 6-29 to 1-12, a complete waste of time for everyone involved. I have to say the performance of the day was St. Enda's. Well impressed with them, I thought Glenariff would have beat them with a bit to spare.

Well done to St Endas - performance of the day without a doubt.

No doubt a happy man Last Man.

We were competitive for 5 minutes, all I wanted was that our lads put on an honest shift, and most did and hurled above the level they have played all season, most did but the class difference was evident on the scoreboard at the end.

will miss the derby tomorrow, don't bring gone kids!! I heard though the psni are interested in this tie? Well I mean the last one

Hopefully it will be a good game. The best ref in the county is doing it so he will keep it all under control.

I'm not reffing tomorrow 

Exactly.. Skinny will stay out of the spotlight

See Cork won the Tony Forestal yesterday

One of the clues to their success is in the picture

Some difference to threadbare Antrim where kids smell the collective lack of ambition within Antrim and go to Avicci instead.  Is it really ALL their fault?

Kudos to St Endas yesterday that's a big scalp - not a result anyone would have predicted in recent years. Hopefully they can build on it.

Out for breakfast and one errand now then looking forward to Hannahstown. League games suggest a Rossa win but Naomh Eoin will be dangerous when they know they have nothing to lose. Goals are a huge factor in these games.

Another day where part of me can't help to think of Casement all the same. A double header with the Ballycastle versus Dunloy game would be a great day for our club scene.

[Seamroga in exile]

Ballycastle vs Dunloy has the makings of the best game of the round. Tough one to call. So I'm not going to.    I'm looking forward to it.

[Jeepers Creepers]

It was Avicii's last gig ever ffs.

[Jesusjones]

Dunloy with a fully fit Shorty I'd go for a slim Dunloy win. Anything else I think the Town will edge it.

So just a long way of saying you think the town will edge it then.

[Jesusjones]

I don't know the guy so I don't know if he is fit or not but I was told yesterday he has been training with the team.

[Milltown Row2]

Hear Rossa won after being behind for most of the game until the johnnies lost two men to the line!!

[Milltown Row2]

Dunlop out!!

[Jeepers Creepers]

Dunlop out!!

Of the TT?

[keep her low this half]

Dunlop out!!

Out with a whimper not a bang. Dunloy leading at half time but faded badly in the second half. Ballycastle got well on top around the middle in the second half and slowly took control until they got the goal to kill Dunloy off with 5-10 minutes to go.
