Antrim Hurling

[glens73]

I think if Antrim beat WM and KK beat Wex then Wex are relegated as h2h takes precedence over score difference

Unreal.

16 pts up against Westmeath. In all respect they should be seeing that out.  Egan mightn't last mush longer but surely players musch take responsibilty in that.

Geeat result for Joe Fortune especially at the half-time team talk.

Wm will be on a high now. This is a tough game and one they are probably favourites for. We need men back as a load of injuries.

This was always going to be the crunch game and Westmeath certainly have some momentum behind them. It would be good if us and westmeath stayed up and Wexford were relegated, it would really annoy some hurling traditionalists (snobs)

[CitySlicker11]

Who are we missing for the Westmeath game?

[imtommygunn]

Not sure but McManus, elliots, Campbell missing possibly more. Doubt all of them could be back but hopefully.

[NorthAntrim]

mcmanus didnt look like a boy who'd be hurling in a few weeks when he hobbled off v kk

[NorthAntrim]

hopefully campbell is fit. going by highlights we looked very soft down the middle of our defence v galway. Plenty to be positive ourselves heading into this game. Gave away a lot of soft scores v kk and galway who will punish anything but we put up respectable scorelines in both games. toss of a coin however v westmeath. will be hard for them to get going after the buzz of last week id imagine, fancy us by 3 or 4

I'd be worried about this WM game now.

Injuries stacking up against us and now the momentum they have from their last result is the perfect storm against us.

Im thinking WM win last week sets us up better

Injuries are never a good thing and the more players back the better but IF and a big IF we thought WM were below us and come the last day we turn up, beat them and stay in the LmcC then last week totally dispels any thoughts of that

The players/management and everyone in Antrim now know exactly what we are facing at the weekend, with that attitude i am then confident that the players we have on the pitch are better than WM and will get the result needed

Need a few big hoors in the fullback line to deal with the high ball a lot better than how Wexford managed it..

Turn that around and throw Niall Mc Kenna on the edge of the square.

WM find it hard to deal with that. A great out ball with a few sharp forwards buzzing around him.

All credit to Gleason, his back room team and the entire squad.  A fantastic result under pressure and away from home. 

[imtommygunn]

Brilliant result.

[BrendanAntrim]

Absolutely brilliant. Well done lads
