Thank you to the Referee’s and Officials on the evening that were present.
Note: Going forward, Players will be notified of their inclusion or exclusion by Wednesday 7th December 2011 in the Antrim Senior National League Training Panel.
The Training Panel will be listed on the official Antrim website on Thursday 8th December 2011.
The trial progress to date has been useful
As Senior Hurling Manager, along with my Selectors Mr Terence ‘Sambo’ McNaughton and Mr Collie McFall, we will closely monitor the Players in the County.
Players have a responsibility to maintain their fitness through Gym Work or Aerobic Conditioning and Skill Work off a wall over the next 5 weeks. I will expect to see Players in good physical condition on the resumption of the season in January 2012.
May I take this opportunity to thank the Clubs, Players and officials who participated and supported the Senior Inter-County, Under 21 and Minor trial programmes to date, and wish everyone the Best in your Hurling both at Club and County level in 2012.
Yours in Sport
