Loughgiel just getting past Ballycastle was a warning sign, they were really poor today I thought. Totally aimless
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Was a shambles. Completely void of an effective game plan and poor players in important positions. Don't know where they go from here. St John's are no great shakes either, not sure who'll win that tie.

Loughgiel seem to have went with too much youth at once instead of opting for a more blended approach. Not working out for them so far this year, and they could struggle with the physicality that St Johns will offer.

We went 7 points up in the first half, the tackling, aggression and taking our opportunities really put Tir na Og on the back foot

Second half we seem to be still in the changing rooms (though we stayed on pitch) or had lost our intensity, that said Tir na Og came out a different team, we still should have held on and had we scored our penalty I think the momentum would have shifted.

Fair play to them, a game of two half's and a very entertaining fair

Definitely a game of two halves.

Our lads didn't get going at all in the first half, simple errors all over the place, dropped catches, fumbled pick ups and it looked like it was game over at half time, although we could and should have had 2 goals late in the first half so maybe that was a sign of things to come.

The penalty was the key moment and it spurred us on, whereas if it had gone in, your lads would likely have safely won.

The game was played in the right spirit, none of this off the ball nonsense or negative play, 39 scores and for a neutral it would have been a great watch, although it was nerve wracking for a non neutral!

Be some serious head scratching being done in LG this morning I'd say.

Didn't seem to be any semblance of a plan or strategy and physically looked well off. Taking into account they are mostly younger, but still worrying signs.

Two horse race. Cushendall only team capable of beating Dunloy atm. In saying that Loughgiel had them back to 3 in the 2nd half before a scrappy enough goal broke the LG comeback

Intermediate wide open after Glerarm turned Cushendun over. 4 or 5 teams capable here

Junior seems destined for an Armoy Cloughmills final. Can Gort get themselves involved in this conversation?

Agreed

LG are very young and light and are a work in progress. More of a concern is very conventional hurling in terms of set up and strategy. Their next management is going to be paramount in terms of success when them lads come of age. Thought the difference yesterday was Mc Manus and difference in the physical stakes.
Did LG win one of their puckouts
There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets

I assume U-15A championship was played last night ? No results up on Antrim website for some reason

They were very young last year too though and tbh should have beaten Cushendall.

Levels definitely seemed to have dropped this year.

Yeah. I guess we'll know for sure when the knockout stuff starts.
