i was surprised it went to Armagh as they didnt want the game. it had been rumoured that it was for Omagh as a double header with the Intermediate final before hand.

but the camogie ones had their final set for the same day so id say it made sense for the Sneill club than making their supporters go on two different days.

that being said its a joke of a set up in the camogie. the Antrim camogie final was over a month ago yet Lgiel have to wait till now to play a final. the game should of been played weeks ago as a stand along fixture rather than waiting till now.

I agree re: camogie.  Too long to wait as the weather and pitches get worse.  I understand that they'd want to play before a good crowd also but as you say, a stand alone fixture a few weeks ago would gather a good crowd.

My take is Dunloy won Antrim 'too early' a few years ago if you understand - very young team but won it unexpectedly in my opinion.  This year, they are ready - the young lads are physically stronger and more experienced.  Shorty is still a star around the middle.

I'm sticking my head out....and going for a draw....then extra-time. Could be penalties!!

Final goes to replay.... The game will be a lot tighter for both teams thats for sure.. The camogie game should also be a goodin, have seen Sneil and they are pretty decent team

Seen sneil camogs this year a few times. they are not the team they were last year.

they had a lot of girls take time out ,which you can understand, and they werent hitting the heights of last year so woody was back on board and they have the likes of Louise Dougan back again playing.

seen their semi final v Swatragh and they didn't impress me at all. Louise dougan was her usual outstanding self but the rest of them seemed to struggle with Swatragh.

Loughgiel will see them for the taking but both sides are missing good players through travelling and life. will be a good game

Always think it is very difficult for women to keep at it past minor, which is real pity

Aye it really has a large drop off rate in the game and its hard to keep them all at it. when you only have 1 team at senior level you only get the really strong players to move up and sadly the others disappear.

Still think that Sneill will be strong but its how Loughgiel set up and their tactics as well that might win them the game.

Would have been unfair to have it on a pitch thats unplayable! They deserve better, Queens would be the best shout

Was at queens at the weekend there, all Ireland league rugby going on at main pitch, Queens playing Ards on the soccer pitch, hockey on top pitch and two lower end games of rugby and soccer going on! Brilliant and there is a bar now in the main building!
