It could get very messy tomorrow if Tipp go at it full pelt. That is as good as an U-21 team as I have seen in a while. If they get a decent lead all the seniors will be taken off sharpish.

Minder they are plus 18!!! do you think they could keep it that close?? thats a hell of a handicap

They will be doing well to keep it to bet that handicap, of the fellas are rested there will be other fellas busting their balls trying to get a place for the final. Tipp 1/100 to win the match.

was thinking that, the players coming on bursting a gut to impress. feck 18 points is a lot though.

ok will go with Tipp minus 18 Dublin to win the other

Search party out in the Ards, apparently some north antrim kids have got lost on their way, didn't arrive at 3 o'clock. Their parents will be worried. Hope they turn up safe and sound.

Milltown whats your odd's on survival in Div 2. Do you think you will stay up? Glenarm look certs to come into it.

Rossa had some great young players on Sunday. Forwards were not scared to take a run at the Dunloy defence, especially Armstrong and McGuinness. Pity their shooting was off.

What was Ger Cutt up to?
Just introducing Mickey Armstrong to senior hurling when the ball wasn't around. Tough lad. Funny that, seeing how his balls dropped off 2 years ago in Casement when he was lining Jim Close. They must have regrown.

Spot On, although young Armstrong should be well able to handle himself once he's got settled. You've a great memory too Hardstation. Jim Close has a serious set of boolers on him and Cutt lapped it that day alright.

Hardstation,

Just curious, what size of a crowd would show up for a Johnnies Rossa league match?

Aye, what happened there?

I see on the Antrim web site its down as 'not played' rather than a DNF.

Max, Skull, any insider knowledge.

Our relegation battle with Portaferry wasn't played either due to a death in Portaferry.

theskull1 · August 23, 2010, 10:36:00 AM

Our footballers we're due to play championship on Sat evening but this fixture was moved back to Monday because of a couple of our U21's playing against Tipp

As a result of that change the match was called off. Did youse not know about the postponement?

johnneycool · August 23, 2010, 10:43:12 AM

ddin't know about the football being moved.

I thought it was to do with the U-21's on the saturday but I'd noticed that Loughgeil and Ballycastle played their game and was wondering.

maxpower · August 23, 2010, 11:52:49 AM

Like Skull i heard the match had been cancelled because of the changed date of the football championship we've 6/7 players who play both.

Couple of big results from the weekend, Cushendall gave Glenarriffe a bit of a beating, which isn't entirely unexpected given its just a week since Glenarriffe exited the championship. Loughgiel did however hand out a bit of a drubbing to the Town, in Ballycastle too. Not surprised they won but thought it'd be much closer than 16 points.

pdiddy · August 24, 2010, 10:51:16 AM

Is having a football game the following day a legitimate reason to call off a hurling match?

theskull1 · August 24, 2010, 11:49:45 AM

If you've got alot of dual players and the match the next day is championship, yes is the answer. We've actually 9/10 dual players.

Milltown Row2 · August 24, 2010, 12:09:41 PM

our senior championship game was played on the friday night against MG then we played St Pauls in an important match in div 2 hurling and lost heavily!!! on the Sunday night. on hindsight we should have had our game called off

maxpower · August 24, 2010, 02:10:09 PM

you've got it the wrong way around MR2, had your championship been on Sat evening would you have played the hurling on Fri?

The footballers train all year for the championship, bit unfair to throw them a league match in county down the day before a championship Quarter Final, and it just wouldn't have been possible to play without them
