Antrim Hurling

[north aontroim gael]

I thought Dunloy would win but I didn't think they'd win so comprehensively.

They've been building all year and peaked at the right time. Fair play to them.

They'll beat Slaughtneil / Ballygalget and a good sod in Croke Park would be the perfect surface for them. There's an All Ireland in that team in years to come.

Was very impressed with Dunloy yesterday who looked much better prepared for the event. All talk of the young boys not being ready for it answered with some grit and style.  Cushendall it looked,strangely lacking belief in themselves. One positive for the Ruairis was the performance of young Fergus McCambridge who didn't shrink an inch.

Hirty Darry anyone that knows anything about hurling knows that cushendall will win.. You nobody

Scoreline flattered cushendall was at least a 10 point game they were brutal could not deal with the pace we played at second half. See them pups they didn't just bark they bit too and that the start of the domination for the next 10 years

And you can believe that

congratulations dunloy.   but plz don't get ahead of yourself

Wise words there SG. Young teams need to stay grounded

[Well]

Fair play to Dunloy.

Not too surprised Dunloy won I knew they had the players. I think the indoor facility they built has helped to develop this group. Apparently the indoor ball when it gets warm moves much faster so it might explain why some of them are very "wristy". The performance Sunday might give them enough confidence to win Ulster now.

The Academy is a fantastic resource no doubt but those young lads were knacky when they were U10s before it was built

Sunday was literally the definition of the two half game. I thought we were poor enough in the first half and Cushendall deserved to be in front. Though despite not playing well we were only 3 points down on them.

Second half we came out and completely blew them away. I knew the talent was there in the team i just didn't expect that to happen. It was a joy to watch as a Dunloy fan as the players showed what they could do.

Not going to lie, we enjoyed the celebrations on Sunday into the wee hours of Monday morning.

Disagree ☝️☝️☝️. Dunloy better team start to finish and shoulda have been in front at half time.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

would love to agree with you BB but i thought we were poor in the first half. we shot bad wides and gave away silly frees to allow Cdall to tag over the scores. At times it looked like we were trying to force a pass and each time it was the wrong option.

I was happy to be only 3 down at half time despite not playing well.

On another note i heard last night that Sundays final was the biggest attended in an age with £25k on the gate. Fair play to everyone in Ballycastle as they had it all organised to a tee and before we had all left they had rubbish started to be collected around the pitch by club vols.

Credit where it is due for the ticket process also to the County, was very well organised. Clear and Transparent.

Dunloy better team in the first half to in my opinion, just couldnt get the scores, 5/6 wides and 3/4 occasions nigel elliott and keelan molloy couldve been in on goal. they upped it a couple of levels start of the second half and cushendall couldnt live with the pace! you wont see a better 15 minutes like it again, 3 down to 11 up. 2-10 in 15 minutes. Unreal.

Sneill won the toss there this morning and the games set for Owenbeg. Im happy with that venue, big wide open pitch will suit us to a tee.
