Ballycastle

And anyway, I've since come to link up that side of the family.

I met them last year in Ballycastle.

Lovely family, absolutely lovely.

And they filled in a lot of gaps with my story.

Mm-hmm.

Just I suppose one other episode in your early part of your vocation was moving up just up the road here from Cush and Dunn up to Ballycastle.

And you became the first center director for Cori Mila, which at the time would have been only just a handful of years old, not even probably five, six years old.

Can you tell us about that? What was Cori Mila like in those days and

And he was.

He was.

I remember one morning he wanted to see me about something, so I was in Ballycastle at my caravan in Ballycastle.

Siobhan, you know where it is.

The installers, uh, as well like it because they now install using the app, and they, they commission it.

And then whenever it's connected to the internet, our, our on island tech support here in Ballycastle can actually log into it and then actually see if there's any issues on the settings with the customers or the installers from a support mechanism.

Brilliant.

And you said that's part of a, an energy ecosystem that, uh, is wider than just chargers then, so there are other elements within the Myenergi family that can connect all together?

real 50-50 game and I think they may have even been slight favourites but we just got the better of it in the end and it was a very, very good game ourselves and Lougheel have had some brilliant battles over the last five or six years and yesterday was exactly the same as that.

They have a brilliant forward line and they took some incredible scores at a period in the second half where you know it looked like they were just gonna kind of steamroll as they had maybe five on the bounce at one stage from all angles but we managed to kind of get back into the game and just about close it out but it was It was a brilliant day for Antrim Sport yesterday actually because the Camogie final, we left Ballycastle and went straight up to Ballymena to watch the Camogie final and it was an even better game in truth.

The physicality now that's allowed within Camogie and the players that were on show, both sets of players can be so proud of themselves.

Antrim's actually had a really good year and Camogie, as you're probably very well aware, being the intermediate champions and

So Antrim and Camogie is definitely on the right trajectory.

Yeah, what about the Antrim Hurling Championship, Neil? Give us an insight into it because for me, from the outside looking in, it seems to be just such a really unique competition.

You were playing yesterday in Ballycastle, is that right? A great ground there where there's such history attached to the game as well.

And obviously the teams that you've mentioned that you're up against each year have all excelled at different times down through the years.

Well, I'm doing well.

Um, I believe that, um, my personal opinion was long before this issue was brought back up- That the Orange Order shouldn't have been, uh, parading in places like Newry, Ballycastle, Derry, and other nationalist areas.

Um, but I'm just wanna figure, uh, about this here.

There won't be an Orange parade down, uh, Garvaghy Road.

And what do I hear? Joy, laughter, camaraderie.

Just hours before, we were singing and dancing together in a pub in a small town called Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.
