The Intermediate championship is really heating up in the groups...

is it working the same as senior, top through then 2nd and 3rd into quarter finals? or top 2 straight to semi

Straight into semi's I think

I don't seem to be able to read the comments and suggestions on the Antrim social media pages on FB and Twitter.  Anyone else having the same problem?
Personally I think the proposed solution isn't a solution at all.

They've deleted them

Did they really?  They are censoring comments from their own members?  That's pretty serious if true.

It's the new reality, if you speak against the official line you get shut down. We should all know that by now lol.

[Last Man]

I'll concede that

Interesting scenarios ahead:

Oisins go to Carey and win, they go through and Carey go out.

Incredibly Cushendun could still go out having won all their games so far. If they lose by X amount at Sarsfields and Creggan beat St Paul's by X amount, which I imagine they will.

Going to be some excitement.

Don't think St Galls will beat Ahoghill at Ahoghill. They need to to reach the semis.

We're the new North Korea 

Poor show if all deleted.

Intermediate hurling looks interesting alright. I don't think cushendun will be beat by sarsfields though stranger things have happened. Is that eunan McKillop who used to play for cushendall playing for them?

Glenariff are really starting to make an impression at underage level but probably a bit too soon for senior level.

Not at all. They've 2 good teams  and it's nothing to do with structures or coaching. They've 'borrowed' a few players from other clubs at those age groups. U7, U9, U11, U13 ....they're poor.

Go and see if you can read them, absolute shambles. Complete a-holes of the highest order.

[imtommygunn]

Likewise.

[Jonkunlon]

They're strong at U15 and Minor due to players coming in to their starting 15 from 3 other nearby clubs. The rest of their teams are average and below. Whether coincidental or not, these teams are made up exclusively of Oisins players.

Ah come on now that's verging on being mean spirited 

The u-15 team I would say has 12/13 of the starting 15 born and bred Glenariffe, and have won the 1st Div Antrim Feile for the first time in the clubs history. The u-17 team would be 10 Glenariffe & 5 "others" I would say, the others from Cdun & Glenarm don't have underage teams so what do you propose they do, retire ? So without the blow ins I would say those two "good teams" at u-15 & u-17 would be very competitive at Div 1 in both grades. That has everything to do with coaching and structures, considering we were struggling to field at some underage grades not a million years ago.

The right people are doing the right jobs when it comes to coaching.

You are right about the u-7s though, they would need to get their finger out.

Sometimes you just get a couple of very good cycles, very few clubs are strong at every age group. Especially not a parish the size of Glenariffe. Who know those u-7s & u-9s might not be write offs just yet.........

There are wee pockets of families coming through that clubs that size need.(same in most rural clubs tbf)

As long as everyone is getting a chance to play at those ages I would be relaxed enough about it
