Antrim Hurling

[Jesusjones]

Sleeping Giant and Jesusjones

The pups may not have bit yesterday and there may be a few more academy sessions needed as you both say. It is though great to be back at the top of Antrim hurling which was the main aim for us. I hope you 2 enjoyed that success which is sad really but in reality its all you will have for the foreseeable future as loughguille/cushendall are well behind us and we are only getting started.

Slaughtneil a very good team and no doubt they will improve year on year as will we and it will be interesting the next time we meet which will be next year I can safely say

A great year from our boys you can hold your heads up high and never worry about the keyboard warriors

You won an Antrim championship. That's it. I see you've took no notice of getting your wings clipped by Slaughtneil, you should really be a bit more humble because your doing yourself and your club no favours. Yes I've no doubt Dunloy will win more titles in the next 10 years but I'd bet so will we and so will Loughgiel (far be it from me to big up Loughgiel but did you beat them this year at all?), Ballycastle also have the potential but would need to deal with their obvious issues. We won 2 in a row in 05 and 06 with McManus, Graffin, McGill and Shane McNaughton coming through as minors and everyone said we would dominate for 10 years. It didn't happen like that. Jim Nelson landed in Loughgiel and turned a team that had lost 6 in a row into All Ireland Champions. You are guaranteed nothing next season or any season. I'd say in 1986 Ballycastle would have thought they'd win more. And the following year Rossa were in an All Ireland Final, I bet they thought they'd win more than 1 championship in the following 30 years. You'd be best taking your medicine quietly.

Is the Dunloy team really as young as what is being said on here.  I know they have a few younger players who are 18 /19. Few of last years minor team. But as for the rest I thought they were long standing senior players but not sure ?

twice in the history of the ulster championship.  hardly major cause for concern.  it's just a really good solid Slaughneil team.  asking questions about why or how is a small bit disrespectful to them.  simply put there a very good team.  be interested to see if they win ulster what they've taken out of last years AI semi and if they've learnt much     i believe it's Munster opposition this time round.

That Dublin team was very very good .. Munster opposition haven't been setting the club scene on fire but at that stage they are all decent

i didn't say they weren't.  but for a team that hadn't played at that level before it was a learning curve. loughgiel first time around against O Loughlin Gaels was a learning curve.  the bigger stage the smaller things come to matter.  was simply saying it will be nice to see what they took from last years game.

It's a mixture of youth and experience with much more young blood to be added to that over the next few years. Average age of 24 yesterday all with plenty of years left yet

Yes we were clipped by Slaughtneil just like use were clipped in the Antrim final. Just you keep cracking jokes about our academy if that makes you fell better about that hiding use took in ballycastle

The thing about it is that Slaughtneils average age was younger than Dunloys at the weekend.  This team will be about for a while yet.

3. Revealing a posters personal identity.
   An inherent part of most discussion boards is that members may choose to adopt an alias, if they wish, as their board username. This choice of anonymity must be
  respected and any move to identify the real life identity of a poster on this board, where they have not done so themselves, is a breach of board rules.
