Probably not played. There were Antrim league matches last night.

Frank Mitchell (Down) - Posts: 1082 - 08/07/2010 13:45:38    700322

League started back last night. Any results?

Portaferry beat Laitroim handy enough. 4-16 to 1-7. Liatoim arrived late an didnt get warmed up where as our lads had been on the pitch for half an hour and hit them hard at the start.

went on 2 the official Down web site clicked on 2 fixture and results, then club to check the championship draws. thought I'd check the foball first and low and be hold, senior fixtures dates and refs given, intermediate fixtures dates and refs given, junior fixtures dates and refs given, (looks promising). clicked onto the hurling championship intermediate fixtures, wated 4 it to come up and waited and waited.............ah there mus b somhin rong with the page! clicked onto the junior championship fixtures and waited and waited and waitttttttttted.......... there must b a logical answer, all the fooball championship fixtures r posted so the hurlin pages must b broke down. surely that can b the only reason.

If anything the success of the footballers should help the running off of the hurling fixtures as all the football fixtures will be on hold. The likes of Newry and Liatroim should be bursting to get games as their dual players won't be playing football.

Get you warm coats out again lads these fixtures are heading towards october/ november and as i recall over countless years the county board will just say sort it out between ye. Sad

I see Bredagh won Div 4A of the Antrim League and gained promotion last night beating St Galls seconds, seems to be steady progression up in Bredagh, fair play.

How do Bredagh field teams in Antrim 4A, Down Div 1 and Div 2? Have they 3 adult teams?

They really have come from nowhere to being a good hurling club in 3 or 4 years. How did they do it and can other clubs copy there approach?

Frank Mitchell (Down) - Posts: 1082 - 05/08/2010 12:17:18    736641

Frank, Bredagh have the 2 Adult teams and as you have stated play in Antrim and 2 Down divisions. The seconds play in Down div 2 and have just started. Its great to see the way hurling has taken off in South Belfast over the last number of years, this is down to the dedication and committment of a lot of hard working people within the club.

I was up at Bredagh one Saturday in June with our u12s. The number of kids they have playing hurling and camogie is unbelievable! There were hundreds of them from u6 to u16. Cherryvale was full of kids, coaches and parents. I actually thought there was a couple of clubs training that day but they told me its the same every week.

There's no real secret to what they are doing - they have some really good coaches and with good PR and hard work theyve convinced all the local kids that hurley is "cool". Theyve work hard with a couple of teams that have talent and with a bit of under age success it attacts more kids and so they continue to grow.

The same approach could work in places with a big population like Newry, Downpatrick & Carryduff if they had a strong committee to make it happen.

there's no secrets to Bredagh, well organised and work hard at the youth. Get them plenty of games and they'll be happy. It'll take them another 5 to 10 years of the same to compete at senior level but they'll get there and stay there.

Youse make it sound simple. If it was that simple others would have done it long ago!

For a start if youve hunderds of kids wantin to hurl you'll need about 30-40 good coaches to look after them. How did a club with no hurling tradition suddently get all these great hurley coaches?

Theres something goin on. We're not been told the hole story.

I suppose they'd a bit of help from lads now living in the area who are originally from hurling area's such as Ballycastle, Ballycran and the likes who got heavily involved but that'd take away from the way they've organised themselves particularly at juvenile level.

we have coaches from "Hurling Areas" but we are training our own and we have senior players also now coaching. we have a well structered and dedicated committee who work very hard to promote the game. we have no magic formula, just hard work and kids that want to play the game.
