GAA on Off The Ball

Terence McNaughton joined Off The Ball Breakfast back in February to give a brutally honest assessment of where Antrim hurling is at under Davy Fitzgerald, after a worrying run of league form and that loss to Kildare.He breaks down why the current system isn't suiting the players, the confidence issue in the group, and how key losses like Neil McManus and Conor McCann have changed what Antrim need to be.And it goes beyond the senior team: McNaughton lays out what he sees as the real problem in Belfast and Ulster hurling, from schools links to structures, funding, and why “throwing good money after bad” won't fix foundations.Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join
