Cushendall win handy in the end, Dungiven had them for a bit mid way through second half but failed to capitalise on Cushendall's poor performance. final set for next week, same weekend we are playing in Newry, great timing

some counties down south haven't even finished there county finals and the ulster final is to be rushed through.

would liked to have seen it but sure

McNaughton double sends Ruairi Og into final

Ruairi Og 3-11 Dungiven 2-8

Antrim kingpins qualified for the final of the Ulster Club Hurling Championship when they beat Derry champions Dungiven by 3-11 to 2-8 at Casement Park.
Goals in each half from corner-forward Shane McNaughton and one from midfielder Declan McKillop were the scores which saw the Ruiri Og home.
McNaughton's first goal in first-half injury time, a superbly taken effort following a long ball out of defence by Neil McManus, was vital as it gave the 'Dall' the lead going in at the end of a closely contested thirty minutes which was high in effort, though low in quality.
A goal from a penalty from Antrim county star Ciaran Herron, after substitute Geoffrey McGonigle was adjudged to have been held in the 'square', gave the Derry champions new impetus, but Cushendall hit back almost immediately and Declan McKillop fired in the rebound after Shane McNaughton's original effort had been saved.
McNaughton sent a sideline cut beautifully over the Dungiven crossbar before capping a great individual display with his second goal after cleverly stepping inside his marker.
McNaughton could have completed his hat-trick in injury time when he was sent through one-on-one with the Dungiven goalkeeper, but his shot went inches wide.
However the miss was of no relevance as the Ruairis had already booked a final place against Down champions Ballygalget on Sunday next at the same venue.

Just spotted this from another thread. Fcuk me. That is wile. Can someone point out to me the "specific" posts on this board which warrant such an attack on all the members of it. I seriously can't think of anything which should be getting anyone too hot under the collar about.

It appears to me that this man has a personal vandetta against this board for critisims made against him and is taking his vengenence out on everybody as a result. To my mind this board is populated mainly by people who actually give a fcuk and who play a positive role both here and in their clubs in helping the game to prosper. This tar them all with the same brush shite really gets my goat up. He would be far better to concern himself with those who are apathetic to our games and think about how best encourage them to play a part in Antrim GAA rather than have a childish rant and those who are dyed in the wool GAA men.

Very similar approach taken by the latest WUM/agent provocateur to join the Antrim Hurling thread in recent weeks and now appears to have deleted his account.

Reply :You might well get away with posting this type of crap on another webiste that allows this sort of nonsense, but it wont happen here. This sort of vile and filthy abuse is not tolerated on this site or any other forum that exerts even a modicum of control over what is posted. Contemptible, anonymous lunatics like you are the cause of serious personal abuse and unacceptable pressures on players, coaches and managers. Their family lives have been affected by some of the comments posted on "GAABoard" and the County Chairman called for this website to be shut down in his speech to convention last year. We are certain that if you were prepared to identify yourself, he would gladly let you know exactly the harm that has been done to individuals and families as result of comments posted on this wewbsite. Undoubtedly a coward like you won't do that!

AFAIK, there was an article in the Sunday Tribune last year. The article referred to a post on an unnamed message board which made accusations about the alleged bed hopping activities of an inter-county manager. The inference apparently was that it was this board being referred to, although few posters remember the offending post. The manager obviously wasn't named in the article and I still have no idea who the article was about. The article also quoted one Dr John McSparran who felt that the board should be closed down. Why Dr McSparran was picked at random for the Tribune's article about an unnamed manager I just can't figure.

For all Tirbune readers Our Chairmans comments have just narrowed down from a possible 64 intercounty managers to just 3.

What is the big gripe with this site, i'm assuming its this thread that is his big issue and i can't really recall anything that malicious being said on it. really the only thread i contribute on and i think its mostly informed, well intentioned debate.

Anyhows no ones mentioned the real big news of the weekend, Dunloy Cuchullians confirmed as 2008 Antrim Senior Hurling League Champions, a title wrapped up with a draw away to Portaferry and so Dunloy finsih the Ulster league unbeaten, the Antrim League unbeaten but crucially fail to even make the big day out...

Great result for cloughmills also, spoke to friend who went to see the match and said it was a good game and cloughmills are rightfully delighted to have taken points of what is a division 1 team. I heard good reports of two of the biddies players, Aaron Smiley and Liam Kearns, by all accounts would cut it with one of the big three, perhaps worth Sambo and Woody having a look.

Sorry to digress from the current conversation lads but can anyone recommend a reasonable coach hire co. to take a group of kids to Tipp for the weekend. Prob looking at a 53 seater.

milltown row · October 13, 2008, 06:28:19 PM

Chambers seem to be the main providers for buses, though translink maybe a reasonable price. no prices but log on to their websites.

on another note Lastman, what the Fcuk was that corner back at last week at Milltown? is that the way ya coach you kids nowdays?

milltown row · October 13, 2008, 06:38:26 PM

Yourself?

Last Man · October 13, 2008, 07:44:15 PM

Missed the game myself Milltown but heard he deserved to walk no question. He's not a bad lad, just a bit fragile mentally, wud say nerves got the better of him cos I wasn't there to tell him what to do

.Poor coaching in his formative years might have a lot to do with it, but we're working on that. Was it yourself on the receiving end?
Cheers for the Bus info.

Some result for the Biddies right enough, they will be well pissed off at themselves letting St.Ts chin them in the championship. Wouldn't have seen St.Ts getting close to the Crans. My first reaction was that both teams decided to half the points saving the crans a journey on saturday, sure they didn't need the points anyway. Surely not. Note to self......Must stop being so cynical..
