GAA National Leagues: Antrim's hurlers ignoring the outside noise
Antrim manager Fitzgerald has opted to forego the media duties so far in 2026, leaving them to his backroom team.It has not been a case of a failure to front up in defeat, as following Sunday's win, coach Seoirse Bulfin offered his thoughts on Antrim's season so far.The Limerick man, a long-time ally of Fitzgerald, joined the Clare man's management team this season and despite their opening run of defeats, remains convinced he is in the right place.The Kildare defeat stung, as did the previous two, but that result was given a little further context on Saturday with the Lilywhites running Clare to four points.While the defeats have not altered their principles, not will Sunday's win change their approach as Antrim seek to finish their league campaign in a positive way."Overall, we probably weren't as bad as people thought after the Kildare game. They proved last night (Saturday) against Clare where they're at," Bulfin offered."It's difficult from the outside, but most people only see us for 70 minutes at the weekend. Travelling up from Limerick, I haven't once regretted it and you'd be buzzing to come up and meet the lads as it's a good environment."Results haven't gone our way, but we've faith in ourselves and will stick to the process. We won't get too carried away with the victory today, the same as we didn't allow ourselves to get too down after the last day."
