Antrim Hurling

[Minder]

What way did it work in those days Seth, was there a skills competition before each game to gauge if a player has the "ability" to play against the opposition? Another reason i dont think Milltown would have played any of those fellas is they would be around the 60 mark. Our chairman Niall Wheeler,who was a replacement All Star, has lost a bit of hair from that photo but other than that he hasnt changed much.

Seth hi you being new to the board

Eddie lived in Belfast while he was bank manager of the Northern, him and his son (Joe i think his name was) trained with us, Eddie must have been around 40 as you say he is about 60 now. so while i never seen him or played against him in competition (i did play against the others though) when he was in his prime, i did get a chance to see his skills every Tues night. even at forty he had some pace and strength and his stick work was top drawer.

i never mentioned my skill but i did win a skills competition when i was 12. well it was against my little brother he was 4 at the time, i still cherish that medal me da gave me afterwards

Just seen the score on the county website - 1 17 each after us being up 8 at half time with a strong breeze. Any one actually at it?

Just talking to my mate there (my only one) and he said it was the biggest pile of shite and doesent know why Limerick bothered as they looked to be on the beer last night. He reckoned neither team would have got anything out of it. He said CJ showed up well. Down couldnt get a team gathered up for the first game. He also said he heard Limerick were supposed to stay in the Marine but it wasnt "up to scratch" so decamped to the Comfort Inn in that Gaa stronghold Antrim

comfort inn is dire Marine is better by far. Anyway last time McCarthy brought a team to play Antrim it was also a draw.

any other reports other than your "mate" minder?

senior Challenge Match: Antrim 1.17 Limerick 1.17
02 May 2009
Played in blustery conditions in Paric MacUilin, Antrim and Limerick served up a fine exhibition of hurling in this challenge match today. 

Leading by 8 points at half-time having played with a strong breeze, Antrim faced a resilient come-back from the Treaty Men but deservedly held on for a draw.
