Antrim are finding out the hard way once again what it's like to be treated as a minor county when it comes to playing against teams at the top table of hurling.
The Saffrons are angry that the GAA won't bring their fixture against Waterford in Dungarvan forward ninety minutes.
A couple of weeks ago Antrim accommodated Wexford hurlers by bringing the time forward to allow the Model County men more time to get home at a decent hour.
Antrim asked the GAA's CCCC to return the favour this week but have been stone walled.
Waterford to their credit had no problem about a switch in the time but for some reason the CCCC have taken a stand on this one.
It does smack of one rule for one and another for others. Cork should not be even competing in this year's league competition after failing to field in the first two games of the competition but somehow I can't see Cork having a problem if they asked for a change of time.
A bit of commonsense should have prevailed here as the game doesn't have any impact on TV schedules but when you're regarded as a minnow then it's easy to rule against you.
