Antrim Hurling

[johnneycool]

We've what will ultimately become a relegation battle with our neighbours, Ballycran tonight.

They've been going better than us in the Ulster league and should probably take the points.

Some very poor hurlers being given senior jerseys in our place at the minute. We'll need to rebuild over the next few years and get the attitude towards training and commitment of the youngsters coming through the underage ranks seriously changed as we've lads with a bit of ability but too bloody lazy to push themselves any harder.

The Ards clubs aren't any big shakes at the minute so we'll be looking to take points off our neighbours as much as possible with maybe the Johnnies and Ballycastle at home another few points.

None of the Ards clubs will take any points off Loughgiel, Cushendall or Dunloy this year. Portaferry are probably the pick and they're struggling with commitment issues as well.

I know its early in the season and a journey to Cushendall for 1pm on Easter Sunday is not ideal (madness fixing that fixture), I thought Portaferry were really poor on Sunday. We were not great ourselves and won by 15 points. Even Braniff was well off with free's. We played Ballygalget in Ulster League in February and we probably stole a win so I would have thought Ballygalget were better than Portaferry

Well, there were the two dirty slaps off the ball on ding which went unpunished, but fair play to him he got his own back. Then there was the knee in the back on Jimmy Campbell. Then there was the full on chest charge on winker. There were several more decisions he missed on both sides. As whacker said, he was out of depth.

As for the umpire it appeared to me that he laid hands on dd first. And knowing the individual Like I do, he ain't no shrinking violet.

Not that i want to start this again cuz i was'nt at the game but that's a different opionon from the one you had in September.

But you brought it up again anyway.   

You must've very little to do with your time.  For the record, I also stated that both sides were slapping in that game. Have you not got over that one yet?

St galls 11 up 10 mins left

do st galls have many of the championship team on jc?

[Jeepers Creepers]

St galls 5-9 rossa 1-11

[Minder]

Glenariffe 3-16 Carey 1-8

[Arthur_Friend]

Glenariffe 3-16 Carey 1-8

A dour match....lots of wides. Glenariffe really slow off the blocks... need to up their game for St. Gall's.

Were St. Gall's excellent or Rossa abysmal or bit of both?

[Jeepers Creepers]

Missing big Anton & joe Mcd, ga ga? Maybe One or 2 more SIE.  Rossa started well but st galls hit a couple of goals and went on from there. St galls defence marshalled rossa well , rossas only goal coming from a penalty. Some nice scores from both teams but galls were able to grab goals when needed.

[btdtgtt]

Scoreline actually 1-12 to 5-8 but otherwise I agree jeepers creepers - just back from the game and the scoreline makes no secret of the match. Goals win games - galls got them Rossa didn't.
Karl Stewart scored a screamer the others were soft.
St Galla defended dare I say it like footballers and Rossa were clueless up front.
On this basis St galls will be hard to work with but the football sadly might catch them out - if it's left to hurling they will give Glenarriffe all they want.
As for Rossa - if u concede goals and can't score them then the maths is simple!
Thought both mc gourts were really excellent and Karl Stewart with number13 for St galls.
For Rossa bell & Hamill did their bit but they had little else.
Well done galls would like to see them give hurling a real go.
Mibag - Owen Elliot did a good job!

I hear Ballycastle vs St John's finished a draw.

[manballandall]

Have to agree with all that's been said especially why rossa left their corner back on st galls no 13(mackers) as he was being roasted. How good could st galls be if that is their performance with no training behind them as I know rossa have been training hard. Who was that management team for st galls? 2 young enough fells by looks of it. Rossa couldn't handle the intensity of st galls work rate

[manballandall]

Oh and I thought OE had a decent enough game, let it go which is great but still imconsistent with some decisions but all in all good game. Did I see aiden hamill doing stats for rossa? how the mighty have fallen
