Antrim Hurling

[imtommygunn]

Just far too good. Hard to see anything other than Dunloy dominance for a good few years.

[rogercasement]

Dunloy never got out of second gear there!

[Saffrongael]

Was too big a game for some of the Rossa players. Dunloy streets ahead

[bannside]

Agree ITG. Paul Shiels gave a masterclass there. Head and shoulders the best player on the pitch, with honourable mention to Coby for his massive contribution to the scoreboard. Occasion got to Rossa, they hit six wides in the first ten minutes, they needed those to settle down.

I think Gregory deserves some credit here. Dunloy clearly worked on attacking the Rossa short puck out. They got on top of it early on and really unsettled the Rossa full back line who never recovered. Once they had got insides Rossas collective heads it was game over.
Well done Dunloy deserved winners, enjoy the celebrations.

So what about Ulster ? Can't see Lynches getting near Slaughtneil in Derry

[rogercasement]

Could depend on how slaughtneil go in the football. The fact that Dunloy play them in mid December is a pity, would be a great game for a hard dry pitch. Two good teams, can't call it.

That depends on where Slaughtneil are at, would i be right in saying that they haven't had a real challenge since Ballyhale almost 2 years ago? I have no idea how Lynches are going but Slaughtneil must be undercooked.

Most of their big players only starting to come out now ans still blowing rest of Derry teams away, they should beat Lynches but Dunloy away ahead of rest of Derry atm

If S'niel continue to play as before, they will be hard to beat.

[Saffrongael]

An underrated aspect of Dunloys play was their tackling, dunno how many times a Rossa player went down to dip a ball and the Dunloy player just flicked it away, they made a difficult enough skill look very easy at times.

[saffron123]

Well paddy john what do you think of the ex ballymena man now

Hurled well. Dunloy were superb. Shorty is unreal.

[Milltown Row2]

I'll watch it back later on, but for me Rossa didn't get going or Dunloy played exceptionally well, a bitta both I suppose but I'm sure the Rossa lads are wondering what the hell hit them, there were plenty of players yesterday that managed to raise their game from the last day, Shorty stood out as did Kevin Molloy, Cunning will take the plaudits for the score tally, but for me Kevin Molloy was driving the team on and MOM for me.

Hopefully Rossa will put this behind them and refocus on next years championship, getting to a final isn't easy so making the most of it when you are there needs to be done by the likes of Rossa, St John's as it doesn't come around that often.

Dunloy got their match ups right, there was a few wide's from Rossa, which isn't like them, had they taken those chances they could have improved, the heads dropped more and more as the game went on.

[NAG1]

Dunloy I dont think even got out of 3rd gear, they just picked Rossa off clinically and showed their experience in doing so.

I think Rossa will learn a lot from making the final, was a lot of noise around them during the week and seems to have got to some of their players.

Some bad wides at the wrong time also zapped the confidence but you have to ask about the warm up, is 50 minutes not way over the top?
