nothing to do with the county, problem resolved in house, all good for both parties

[johnneycool]

anyway, enough football, any reports from the league games played on wed night?

we played Rossa, won by four with Rossa getting a goal in injury time, good game with Rossa without Bell, Close and big Jim. we were missing county boys, and flynser and Gaga.
rossa started really well with a goal and 2 before 5 mins played,  they got one more during the rest of the half, were's we came back at them and led by a point at half time, we got a lucky goal, but had most of the play. second half we pulled away and were leading by 8 at one stage. good clean game, some moaning at the referee but thats always happening lately (sorry ref)

good for rossa, Hamill, kettle and cant really think who else had a good game

Karl Stewart came back and scored 10 of the 1-19 and mackers chiped in the goal and few points. thats two wins away from home on the trot for us, although both teams are having a nightmare season.

Was big Aidan Hamill not whinging at the ref? that man takes whinging to a whole new level altogether.

he whacked the manager with his stick after he told him to stop cursing, as there were children around and him being a principle and all that, well that set him off. funny though

Who won the Feis Cup?

[Big Bob]

Cushendall won by 3 points

[johnneycool]

How did the Ports get on up in Dunloy yesterday evening?

We beat the johnnies handy enough on saturday something like 3-17 to 0-7

[maxpower]

Dunloy won 3-18 to 3-8 (or something very similar)

Dunloy played terrific in the first half but conceded 3 very poor goals in the second.  Portaferry very obviously missing Braniff up front but still are a good team, the Down championship should be very close this year between the 3

McFall didn't play for Johnnies because of county friendly v Westmeath on Saturday evening. I was told that the Ballygalget/St John's match was played for double points - Antrim & Ulster leagues. Is that right?

Division 1 Hurling
 
Dunloy  3-17 3-8 Portaferry
Ballygalget  4-17 0-7 St. Johns
 
Division 1 Reserve Hurling
   
Ballygalget  0-8 3-13 St. Johns

From North Antrim website

County champions Cushendall held off a late fightback to beat Ballycastle 2-13 to 1-13 in Sunday's Senior Hurling Final at Feis na nGleann in Ballycastle.
Played in perfect conditions in front of a sun drenched crowd Cushendall's extra bit of class and finishing ability gave them the edge as they opened up a 1-6 to 1-5 half-time lead, their goal coming from Neill McManus, while Cossy Dallas grabbed the McQuillan's major.
With man of the match Paddy McGill in superb form at midfield the Ruairis took a grip on the game in the second half and well worked goal, which was fired to the net by centre forward Brian Delargy, put them firmly in control.
Ballycastle battled until the end and were rewarded with a late Cormac Donnelly goal to bring them to within one score of the winners, but though they had a late chance to grab an equaliser the Cushendall defence held firm to add another piece of silverware to their trophy cabinet.


Was a poor enough match, think the heat might have had an effect as it was very dead throughout but Cushendall desreved to win it in the end. Paddy McGill as it says above is hurling brilliant at the minute, some of his scoretaking in last few weeks has been super. Was actually Martin Burke who scored Cushendall's second goal & not Brian Delargy.

Heard that Big Mal Molloy broke his hand lastnight against Portaferry. Is this true? Can anyone shade some light on this? Anyone from Dunloy out there?

[milltown row]

yes i heard that the Johnnies played for both the Ulster and All county, bizzare considering they have been on complaining about not getting any games. we played Rossa twice over the week regardless of who was available. as for mcfaul not playing due to friendly, Karl stewart played for us as the game was called off, played rightly 2 scoring 1- 9

Johnnycool we play yourselves in the quarter finals of the ulster hurling league at corrigan next week, weer missing a few, some boys are away states side but well give it a rattle
