Antrim Hurling

SASLinger · April 13, 2009, 08:44:37 PM

Interesting game for GNM next Saturday evening in the Ulster Hurling League. GNM v Carrickmore, one worth the watching indeed. Some recent history with these two and GNM have some scores to settle! I hope they behave themselves!

That's a fair trimming Ballycastle received at home. Eight points is a comfortable win for Ballycran. Thought the "town" would be a wee bit better considering they won the u 21 a couple of years ago.

I think things are not well in the Town. after the match the manager wee Olcan quit at the lack of effort from the boys , Training etc, Poor numbers , no commitment , to be honest a lack of quality hurlers.

I know this sounds like a smart arse response - but it's not - it's on the Feystown Road

I'm sure Feystown is signposted from the coast road on the Larne side of Glenarm.

Yep, Millbrook is the handiest if you're coming from Belfast. Just follow the signs for Cairncastle and, when you get there, there's a sign for Feystown that takes you on a road to the left from the middle of the village. It's basically a straight run from there

Did he leave? That must be shortest term of management in history. The town had a fair bit of trouble getting a manager this year. From what I heard nander campbell went for the position with a sound plan and he would brought joe cassidy and oran kearney (cpc managers) with him, But he asked for some financial support from to club to get his plan of the ground but was told were to go.
I disagree with you saying there is a lack of quality hurlers, The town dont play well as a team (management issue) and some lads are a bit to nice couldnt or dont know how to play a dirty stroke, which is needed sometimes.

Youngfella why would Nander Campbell need "financial support"? By this do you mean he wanted paid to take them? If so they did right to hunt him.

The Dark Knight · April 14, 2009, 07:19:10 PM

I'd say if he wanted to bring in his mates from the school then he'd have wanted "financial support" alright. There is a bit of a difference telling schoolboys what to do and telling grown men what to do.

Owen Elliot (Probably the best referee in Antrim) you must be joking, wise up would ya! No way pal. Ray Mathews and Liam McAuley in my humble opinion are the best two referees in Antrim. I have watched both these guys and I can honestly say they are probably the best in Ulster. Elliot, Devlin, Duffy and Magee are way off the mark. A real pity Tommy Mc is getting on a bit and likely to bow out soon. McAuley and Mathews have the same refereeing style as Tommy and generally let the game flow. I have been very impressed with them both.

A bit of a worry though, that no new faces are breaking through. The County need to be looking at new young referees.
