Antrim Hurling

Think it was possibly more to do with a lack of work around here, he actually kept delaying it until the Championship was over in Ulster but with the big gap between Ulster Final and Semi final i don't think it was possible to delay any further.  Woody and Rab are big losses but means big opportunity for someone else

Good luck to st.galls and dunloy this weekend. Would be brilliant for antrim and ulster hurling to get a couple of results.

I'd like to echo those comments. Good luck St Gall's and Dunloy. i think both'll get hammered though.

Good luck to both. I saw St Galls are 11/4 with Paddy Power, do Ladbrokes have a price?

Antrim vs Carlow- Report for county website

CARLOW hurlers recovered from a dreadful start to overcome Antrim in this exciting tie at Dr Cullen Park, Carlow yesterday and set up a home final meeting with neighbours Laois.

The Saffrons raced into a 1-3 to no score lead after seven minutes, right half-forward Eddie McCloskey opening the scoring with a goal on three minutes.

Carlow slowly gained a foothold and in the 10th minute were boosted by a fine individual goal from centre-forward Eddie Byrne.

Carlow went 2-11 to 1-11 in front on 46 minutes and still held a three-point advantage when the Saffrons were awarded a 35-metre free in the dying stages. Liam Watson's effort rose over the bar and Carlow were through to the final.

Gutted, don't think a 12 point defeat does justice to the competitiveness of the game. Gave Portumna a fair rattle in the fifteen mins after half time we just needed a goal during this period of dominance and it really would have tested Portumna's resolve
