Antrim Hurling

[btdtgtt]

First time posting on the hurling site and in relation to the transfer of young Nugent I very much agree with btdtgtt and can't understand how some players do this, and to me it is very much against the ethos of our great organisation. However it is not just confined to city teams and just to correct btdtgtt in 1989 one of Antrim's best ever hurlers transferred from Armoy to Loughiel just for the season to win a senior championship. He duly obliged by doing what he was brought in for, and being man of the match in the final v Johnnies!!!

The cloot thing was the point I was making!

Agree DR also - the "sanctions" to allow players to play another code are perfectly acceptable and proper. They are common place in the South. Much preferable to transfers and amalgamation teams.
I would like to see sanctions operate at senior level also - if the parent club is single code.

Again however - none of this applies to the current transfer.
Be that in Belfast or NA as they both happen!

yeah I was getting the sarcasm thing lol.  No1 else seemed to.

Anyone know when fixtures for the leagues are out? And a potential start date?

Did Cloot not play his underage hurling in loughgiel? Of course, at the time he opted for loughgiel armoy didn't field that year and other clubs were knocking at his door. All forgot about through the realms of time.

aye but he was playing senior league hurling for Armoy and then championship playing for Lgiel.

It sounds silly now but it was the norm for teams back then.

What year did that end and he wasnt allowed to play for Lgiel anymore?

It was funny that the only Armoy hurlers to transfer that year was top class forward and future all star Cute Mcfetridge. The rest stayed in Armoy.

What about that mc Grady lad that moved from Belfast to Cdall that there was so much hope for?  Or the Cdun lad that was a real good minor few years back.  Where did they ever go?

I think his parents had/have a house in C'Dall and he spent his summers there, St Brigids couldn't offer hurling. He was on the panel that beat St Galls last year I think.

What C'Dun lad? AS far as I'm aware there has been 6/7 lads from C'Dun, Glenravel & Glenarm who played minor for C'Dall when their "parent" club couldn't offer hurling but all returned home again when they came out of minor.

I seem to recall a team from the glens trying to sign a young McCarry fella back in the day.

a young lad that actually lives in loughgiel.   Begged high up and low down he was.   Nothing to do with parent club either.  This has happened all the bigger clubs at some stage.   And most clubs in Ireland would have loved Mr Mc Fetridge at the time.   It's still happening. Just maybe some players hadn't the same effect clute had

Dunloy with paddy Doc sure.  His first game ever against us he scored a goal and ran out kissing the badge.  I near got sick in my mouth!!!   It happens.  It's not for me.  But it happens
