Antrim football is in an interesting place at the moment. What would you consider the current pecking order? For me come championship it would be:
1.   Cargin
2.   Creggan
3.   Aghagallon
4.   Portglenone
5.   St Endas
6.   Lamh Dhearg
7.   St Johns
8.   St Brigids
9.   St Galls
10.   Ahoghill
11.   Moneyglass
12.   Tir Na Nog

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Cargin and Creggan are still very much the teams to beat.

I'd have St Galls well ahead of St Endas.

Maybe a year or 2 early for them but they seem to be improving

It's Creggan and Cargin way out in front. Maybe PG1 3rd and then a whole load of clubs around the same level that potentially beat any of the teams on a given day.

Jeez, was chatting with K D there a while back and he is saying Cargin are really in pursuit of the league  title as a priority....ground to make up I think....

[antrimman667]

A good start to the Div.1 leagues with fairly tight games and unpredictable results.
PG1 started well as they do every year, will they run out of road again though. Creggan and Cargin stuttering with players to come back. Ahoghil and Moneyglass going well and should stay up based on early evidence so far. Hearing good things from Aghagallon with young players coming in and stepping up. LD havent been great but were late out training I hear so will improve and I think they'll be dark horses come championship. St.Brigids seem to be in a mess after 3 hammerings, what's going on there?, maybe should focus on their young lads instead of transfers from Lavey?. Rossa, Galls and Jonnies have been indifferent so far but will improve, I think you'll see St.Galls make strides this year and will surprise a lot of people, again they have nurtured some good young players who should start to come through.

Div.2 has the usual suspects starting well. Ballymena and Glenravel will be hard to stop this year. I'd have expected Ardoyne and St.Pauls to have started better. St.Pauls should get stronger in the next 2 or 3 years with great underage work. I think Gorts will be hard to stop also in Div.2.

And going by the Saffron Gael report, Glenravel missing 4/5 from the county final team of last year.

Yes indeed. They are another club who are nurturing young talent. Great to see.

Reading Martin McCarry still involved, great servant

St Endas 5th lol as the saying goes opinions are like arseholes

[geezer]

1. Cargin
2. Creggan
3. Aghagallon
4. PG1
5. LD
6. St johns
7. St galls
8. Rossa
9. St brigids
10. Ahoghill
11. St endas
12. TNN
13. Moneyglass

St Endas the most overrated team in the county. They are spineless in the big games.

[Truth hurts]

I didn't know Moira players played in Antrim, Aghagallon I take it? A big blow to  St Michael's Magheralin.

When is it time to talk about the standard of refereeing in this county?
It is far below any in Ulster, is it any wonder we don't have a referee at the top senior county level.
Sean Laverty gets the odd sideline or fourth official job, but never the main man.

There should be an independent advisor board to review the performances of our refs.
This pushing of young refs into big matches is a waste of time as they are not ready for it.

I take it you have bought your whistle and are stepping forward to help with this dire situation....
