Antrim Hurling

[imtommygunn]

Yeah, your first 2 yellows you get no ban but it's any subsequent 2 yellows you would get a ban for would be my understanding of it.

[NorthAntrim]

pulling a lads faceguard getting the same punishement as a wild pull around the head doesnt really make sense. id say the bigger punnishment will be trust from the manager

[johnnycool]

Of course the one handed bit alone does not automatically mean it was a foul, but it did mean on this occasion that he was out of control, reckless  and dangerous.

Im struggling to understand the "one handed pull isnt a foul" comments

If I pull the 'ball' in the air it's not a foul, if I connect with a player and not the ball it's a foul, whether I've two hands on it or not.

If a player stretches for a ball along the ground with one hand and pulls on it, it's not a foul, if connects with a player first it's a foul.

What's your understanding of the one handed pull?

my understanding is the same as yours. you have to play the ball (or at least make it look like it) lol! regardless of how many hands you have on the hurl.

And dealt with... striking is a one match ban, people calling for 6 months ban don't know the how they are handed out!

There's Cat III striking with minimal force and that's a one match ban then there's Cat IV striking with hurley, either with force or causing injury and it's a two match ban.

How do you see the rest of that group playing out if assuming Rian is missing? Cushendall to come out on top, followed by Loughgiel and then St Endas for me. Likely to leave quarter finals being Loughgiel v St Johns and St Endas v Rossa to go through and meet Dunloy & Cushendall. Or is it an open draw at the quarter final stage?

You are correct and this won't be too far off

Still see very little between cushendall & loughgiel and very much how it plays on the day.

Think Rossa will get 2nd in their group and if Naomh Eanna do beat ballycastle for 3rd that will be an interesting quarter final.

Similarly St Johns V either cushendall or loughgiel isnt a forgone conclusion

Championship shaping up nicely with alot of competitive contests.

Can anyone shed any light as to why we have 7 championship fixtures this friday night, 6 on saturday and ONE on sunday?

I know as a player I'd rather have a Fri or Sat night game over a Sunday. We used to have them all on the one day

[NAG1]

Most of them are pretty much meaningless (Senior anyway) at this stage anyway, so when they are played is kind of irrelevant.

Its the players working and travelling to be at a pitch for 6.30 at the latest. Obviously this happens with league but champ is different. Games are tight for 7.30 now too light wise. A dull wet friday and itll be fairly dark by the end

So have them all on a Sunday at the same time?

I'm not being smart. There are 8 games on Sunday, 6 games Sat and 9 games on Friday night, 23 games spread over 3 days. On Sat the 2 senior games are at different times, 5pm and 7pm, up the country, allowing people to watch both should they wish...

I don't think there is a fixture set up that pleases everyone

Im talking adult championship and youre counting u17 league. There are at least 2 refs out on Sundays u17 league that are able to ref champ(fitness test) so the refs arent the problem

also im not sure how youre going to get from st endas 5pm game to loughgiel for a 7pm throw in

That was just changed in fairness today, when you were complaining that wasn't the case, like I said there are 23 games, if you are only interested in senior you can still see 3 games. You can't please everyone
