Alex McLaughlin and Bronagh Hegarty never came to trainning or previous matches. but they would have been a good addition to a small panel had they have came.

disappointing for Antrim against Cork of course, but again we come home two weeks in a row with two serious injuries, hopefully Louise's knee is not as bad as it seemed yesterday

A disappointing result for the Antrim u18 team against Cork.

Any reason why Alex McLaughlin and Bronagh Hegarty(both from Ruairi Og Cushendall) were not asked to travel for this match.

I know this because they were at their clubs u18 get together yesterday in preparation for their 1/4 final with Ballycastle tomorrow night.  

In my opinion they should not only of been in the squad but starting.

Any word on who the referee's are for each of the quarter finals tomorrow night??

Sorry but the fixtures do not mention anything about the shield matches.  Have any dates been set for these yet?

is there any chance of the starting team for the clare game being posted or letting the players know so we can prepare ourselves properly for the game and not have to worry whether we are on the starting 15 or not?

i believe that the antrim girls can win the clare game, hopefully they have jane back who will be a major player for the saffrons. i think the team that was on was good enuf things just didnt go right on the day and i believe that the backs need to be tighter and more ball to be played into the full forward line there was a lack of this in the offaly game the half forwards were trying to run the ball to much and running into trouble. good luck hope use do it.

Why haven't any pictures been put up of the trip to Croke Park or the tournament in Belfast. Were told pictures would be put up.

wat hapend jane?

There will be a new draw for the under 18 Shield at the next Executive meeting, unfortunately some of the teams who may be first game losers were not included in the draw. Apologies for this mistake

Was wondering if the losing teams of the preliminary round games are now in the shield or is that their run in the championship over?

Hard luck to the girls on Sunday but there is no reason why you cant beat Clare, you have a strong panel and although i do agree that some of the younger players are lacking in confidence they more than make up for that in ability and need encouragement to build up their confidence. I do agree that the full forward line need to be more clinical in their finishing, maybe one of the half forwards such as Shannon or Michaela should be tried in full forward, especially now that Jane may be out for a while, just a thought!

hard work before the Clare game girls, and it can be done.  A bit of tightening up in defence - the players are there but defending is vital.  All forwards must make themselves be counted and have the confidence we have the best bunch of players in Ulster at the minute.  Lets do it girls.

Hope Jane's injury isn't as bad as first thought and wish her a speedy recovery.
Antrim camogie was on a downward spiral until Jingo was brought in. He arrested that decline and introduced younger players like Shannon Graham to the panel. The new management team have now taken it a step furthur and winning Div 3 and Ulster was a tremendous achievement. This team have the capabilites of beating anyone including Clare. Some of the younger players are lacking in self confidence and are allowing more senior players take responsibility. This need to be addressed. The full forward line has got to be more clinical as almost all the Antrim scores (from play) are coming from the three quarter line, they also need reminding that they must defend when they have lost possession as these county defences are getting quality ball out from the full back line which puts pressure on our half/full backs.  

effort has to be put in during trainning between now and the clare game! we are good enough to win the all ireland this year, and that includes the ability of all 15 players and the capable subs of coming on! wish the best to jane and her recovery
