Antrim Hurling

[keep her low this half]

On reading the report I think Dunloy were missing seaan Elliot, Malloy and Eoin O'Neill at least. That would be worrying for other teams.

No Woody either and Shorty only played about 3 minutes at the end. Its looking very likely that the last 4 will be Cushendall, Dunloy, Loughgiel and St Johns.

Good win for the junior camogie team in the All Ireland final

Two all irelands in two years for Antrim now. Some good work being done by the camogie board. U-16s lost a final last Sunday as well.Comfortably stayed in the senior championship as well this year.

majority of players have been idle all year, immediate success but will it be worth it?

Is it the top two in each group into semis? There are only two groups aren't there?

[imtommygunn]

Ah- thanks. Yeah it kind of is a procession to that stage though I think there is some significance to the johnnies win. Realistically the top three pick themselves it's just the order.

Was that Antrim's 2nd team in the camogie final today? Have they another team in the intermediate comp?

Second team first won intermediate last year retained senior again this year

I see on TSG that, if you win intermediate, you can't play intermediate again for 2 years.

Galway will have some panel next year if they get 5 or 6 of these intermediate players coming through.

So are those selected simply those who don't make the Intermediate squad or are they from Junior clubs?

Not sure as there are ballycastle and Cushendall and Ahohill players I'm sure there are Loughgiel too, its probably players that will be on their clubs second teams I'd assume..

Cork had a team in the intermediate and senior finals yesterday, so not uncommon

[imtommygunn]

I don't think it is second teams. I think Kelly would be on Ballycastle's first team and a those Cushendall ones would be on Cushendall senior team. I suspect Laverty is on Loughgiel's too. She was saying she was on the senior panel but dropped off it last year.

I think it's just those that don't make the squad.

Also they seem to tend to be younger as I think the plan is to bring them on to the intermediate.

So like club, teams are graded and the seniors must grade a squad and any that are not on that senior team are available for the seconds? Huge boost to the the camogs and hopefully inspiring new ones to take it up..

Our club have started with a Camogie team lately and its getting good numbers its seems so hopefully we can keep it going, all 4 areas covered plus handball also, we might not be winning much but providing a great sporting cultural environment

[imtommygunn]

I am not 100% sure on the details but yes I think that is what it is.

I'd be interested in Max Power's comments. Two teams is bound to leave a hell of a lot of players out of club action.

[maxpower]

The county teams do seem to be well prepared and are generating good interest. But almost 3 months went past with NO fixtures for the rest of the girls left behind

The County board cancelled Feile last year as it clashed with a senior county fixture and I just fear the priorities are misplaced!

[imtommygunn]

3 months is a lot.
