Antrim Hurling

[nrico2006]

Heard johnnies were missing a lot of decent players too, trouble up the whiterock??

When is there not

Johnston saga continues - apparently there are looking a new club again.

Who are looking for a new club?  Were they not always St Johns players?

Rumours of them leaving the Johnnies have been going on for years. I've heard Dunloy & Slaughtniel recently. No idea what truth is in it to be honest.
I don't think that's the reason they were missing against us. They've been in America most of the summer and I heard Ciaran got a full transfer to an American club so wasn't able to transfer back to St Johns in time to play this year.

Who were they with before?

Ballycastle v Loughiel is at Glenravel ......strange choice

[paddyjohn]

Armoy I thought would of been the choice.

[The stig]

If my memory serves me right I think loughgiel's recent championship record in glenravel is poor

[Two Hands FFS]

Glenravel isnt good for spectators trying to view the match. Thought it should have been in Cushendall. Armou would have been a better choice than Glenravel

[MoChara]

Cushendall and Loughgiel could be a bit of litmus test tomorrow for how the championship will go

[btdtgtt]

Rossa v Cushendall expected to be in Corrigan.

Cushendall and Loughgiel could be a bit of litmus test tomorrow for how the championship will go

I doubt it very much. Neither team will show their full hand.

[Jesusjones]

Jesus could they come up with 2 worse venues for spectators? Corrigan in particular is abysmal.

Agreed. I'm really disappointed. I'm starting to wonder how poor this new county board are. A recent experience with two of them was not good! Armoy has junior and intermediate final .....it had intermediate final last year too. There's no elevated area at Glenravel......this could be a bad move in more ways than one.

Where would you prefer it?

[Hurlingballs]

Cushendall v shamrocks match not on tomorrow, cushendall Have been given the points

[Two Hands FFS]

Let's be honest here. More people go to matches if held in North Antrim. Last years championship proved that. Big crowds, great atmosphere & good facilities.
The attendance at St John's v Rossa was terrible for a championship match with two teams playing on their doorstep. Awful. They put the first semi final at Corrigan because the city clubs always complain they get screwed over (bullshit).
For Cushendall v Rossa...Ballymena is half way....good viewing with bank on far side!
The other semi final...definitely not Glenravel...poor viewing. Parking is poor.

The county board made a total mess of these fixtures.

FFS

I heard a good few complaints before the venue was set about where in North Antrim Rossa would be sent to.
Maybe I shouldn't have said 'always' to be fair.

They have made a mess ..... Cushendal for the Loughiel v Ballycastle game would have been better. Think Dunloy is ruled out. Armoy is a great pitch and a great ground.
