Aye there are a few of us going down on Saturday morning, we have a team in the 7's but they will probably be eliminated by the time we land in Kilmacud. I think we only get four or five tickets for the club and am not holding out a lot of hope in that draw. I have a few people promising the world but delivering fcuk all ! St Johns are also sending a Sevens team down, i wonder will they be drinking on the way down on the bus this year as per last year ?? I saw a post with your handle on it in the football thread with some atrocious spelling yesterday i think, was that the culprit?

[milltown row]

yep wee bro was taking the piss. we played the St judes seven for about 4 years completely hammered on the friday night and the water bottles were missing water but filled with another liquid 

played Portumna one year and played against brendan Cummings of tipp. he was doing nets and was unreal, some craic when we eventually scored a goal against him

[Minder]

I never saw one game last year, arrived in the clubhouse at 1pm and set up camp, gonna try and get out and see a few this year..........

[Trouble Ahead]

Well its comming to that time of the year again lads, who are the officials to take charge of both Finals, are Hurling final is a bit of a non-event. Who have we got for the Hurling, and who have we got for the football, any odds would anyone like to to post their favoured man in both codes, and we can canvas opinions-odds on paddy power!!!!

Will it be a North Antrim man for the Hurling( 2 North Antrim Teams), will it be North Antrim for the football (2 City Teams), like to hear opinions and reasons for your choice. Skull- Milltown Row you lads seemed fairly clued in, whats your opinions?

[davincicode]

TA you seemed to be a bit of a s**t kicker, why do focus on the referees, are you by chance a man in black yourself? The hurling has,nt finished Dunloy v Loughguile has yet to take place. I think your just trying to set some of the lads up for a major piss take!

[imtommygunn]

GNM beat Randalstown by a point in the intermediate last night I think.

Randalstown must be fairly improving as the gorts would most likely be favourites for that.

[Rasmatazz:)]

I got 3 tkts on ebay for £40.00 nicker each. in my hand now as i type with one hand . mate let me down as he can't go no-more . something about a hair cut . Any body need a spare tkt . £56.00 . asking price . 

[milltown row]

hurling referee. could be a choice of three. if Loughgiel are beaten by Dunloy they may well plum for Tommy Mcintyre, if they get to another final it may well be between Mr Mathews, decent referee and my club man Garret Duffy

as for the football i'd say they may go for the Rasharkin referee who has done really well since he's been a referee (can't mind his name) though the Casement bosses may feel he's a bit early for it. i think he'd do well

[bannside]

Owen Quinn is the referee from Rasharkin. The best up and coming ref in the game. A players referee if you know what I mean.

[milltown row]

yes bannside good referee who was a good player untill injury got the better of him. but would casement take a gamble? i think not. who's in the running for it?

[bannside]

Was at an og sport final at St Teresas a few weeks ago and Owen was the ref. He was going straight on to Omagh for a Tyrone V Down masters game, and then back to Portglenone for an intermediate c`ship match. Refereeing three matches that day.

I`d say if you polled the players, Owen would be the one ref no one would object to. Think he has his time served, and a county senior final well within his capabilities. Def the best in Antrim at this stage in my humble opinion!

Although owen is a good referee, best in antrim i doubt it.  I also dont think he is up to "final standard". Tommy McIntyre has got the linesman job in all ireland final.  If loughgiel are not in the final this year i think it will be him.  I agree with milltown, if loughgiel are in final mr matthews or duffy.
