Loughgiel are Cargin of years ago, every game is important (as it should be) but leagues should never be a gauge to judge the reality

During the league, for me and what I've seen, Loughgiel are above the rest by a good margin. I don't think Dunloy will worry too much until it maters, neither will Cushendall, who'll be happy to know they are viewed as being also rans...
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

There's a lot of competition for places in loughgiel I would say too which makes the league a bigger push. Dunloy I notice had only one county player against st johns who looked to have more or less a full quota. Dunloy still way ahead of the pack.

Tbh I thought loughgiel should have beat cushendall last year. I think soon enough they will be second team in the county but if they can push on to be the best is the question. Dunloy very dominant and very young too so I am not sure.

Think it will be a few years before Dunloy are caught. Sadly, for the county, there is only 1 club capable of doing so. Not a good situation. Having said that, great work going on with hurling in many NA juvenile teams.

That's true to a point but my young nephew is on a team that's working hard and 'competing' but yes the NA teams are pretty good

County season is done but it'll be interesting to see if many go out to the States this summer. Quite a few went out last year.

On the Championship, I fully believe when Dunloy's run ends it's Loughgiel coming behind them and think there will be some serious battles between the two over the next few seasons.

Dunloy players on the go constantly with club final etc. Could probably do with a break.

We were invited to play naomh padraig in armoy a few weeks back at u10.5, best team ive seen at that age group by a considerable margin.

couple of fresh faces to add to the squad this year to keep things ticking

We ended up holding onto a top 6 place even after getting beat yesterday in Ballycastle which is a marked improvement for us considering we've been in the relegation mix for a few years now.

I'll be better preparation for us going into the championship even if we'll be sick of the sight of our neighbours by the end of the year.

Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Is it U10.5 or U11.5?

Jonkunlon

I would imagine he is referring to U11.5. They are on a different planet to the rest.
