CB Lavey a young outfit overall and there was only one way they were goin next few years. Plenty talent coming through. Them and m'felt next in line. Don't get me wrong I'm happy enough to see them lose 4 probable v influential figures for next while. But anyways I've spoke enough about Derry on here, the mob will be after me again 😆

Lotta teams in Derry, some served well by St Pats, Mary's and Pius X.....as are Cargin

But peer through the bushes there are more than a few in the medioctrity zone.......

[theres nothing spectacular there. Enda is a good asset as a left footed free taker but there rest are just fine.]

Sick of seeing ones complain about the lads who lost there starting spot. Ive seen these Downeys before and I seen them again yesterday and theres nothing spectacular there. Enda is a good asset as a left footed free taker but there rest are just fine. It seems to be that brigids (fairly minor) improvement is more down to there success at underage in recent years.
Really dont understand why these lads deserve this much airtime. If your upset some lavey lads took your starting spot then thats on you for not locking it down.

have you been living under a rock for 5 or 6 years.
this is easily one of the worst takes i've seen on this board for a long time.

I know what ive seen. Theres talent there im sure but I think this whole transfer nonsense has gotten them overhyped. God14 may well be right about matthew and i already praised enda. I dont like coming on here to talk down these young lads who have done no wrong but theres a reason lavey havent won anything since the 90s and it didnt look like these lads were going to get them over the line anytime soon anyway. Theyll have a better chance winning a championship in antrim in a few years anyway

Not sure about that, a lot of people were tipping lavey to be the next team to challenge Glen.

I'd agree with Hoof

Of course the Downeys are talented lads but as to carrying the Musgrave men to a county title anytime soon.
As for Lavey replacing Glen top of the pops in Derry anytime soon  if that to happen are Bellaghy, Newbridge, etc coming to Antrim.

The Biddies never came close to a senior in our county and are these young lads gonna carry them over the line

Football to be played yet and I am sure Cargin are not about to abdicate......

[Are all Cargins starting 15 homegrown]

Maybe he won a championship with Killyclogher in 2016. He has been at NB for 4/5 years now though I think. Based on the weekends performances PG1 have probably taken the favourites tag? Are all Cargins starting 15 homegrown?

i think so

might have been a couple who played underrage for Moneyglass but thats it.

All of Cargin's team yesterday have green blood no imports at all...
Same applies to the successful reserve team.....

Hannahstown as a 'big game' venue.....take a bow the person who had that idea.....original thought of Whitehill????9

Jeez that was poor...........but only a quarter final plenty time for improvement........

Creggan have  endured lotta injuries to key players and that it shows.........

Stiffler why would you think portglenone would be complacent??

Just how could PG1 feel.complacent...?
They were well and truly dismissed almost at leisure by a LD team which proved only squeezed past Enda's next time before being ousted by a team which found the going tough when Creggan visited...?

Hon Dunloy 😃

Been a long time since Cuchullian's won a senior county football title......1936, but they look on the road again.

So volunteers required for white coat duty...hands up......

[should]

Are Aghagallon being totally written off against Cargin decent league campaign and should have beat them in county final last year?

Shouda Wouda Coulda...

Coulda won eleven more senior titles only to lose in that number of finals...

Indeed ITG, Saffron Gael one of our biggest assets in promoting gaa culture across the county.  Imagine the void should for any reason they stop/cannot supply this great service.

Good reserve final tonight, Cargins young guns seeing it out against a host of aging legends of Antrims greatest ever club team, in front of a large crowd in Dunsilly.

Good to hear there was a large crowd. Reserve football is 100% neglected and looked down on by club members and sometimes senior managers. A good reserve game is as entertaining as some senior games

Not the case in Cargin Reserve football showen serious respect by the club and the senior management.

Indeed the Cargin club treats reserve competition with utmost respect, senior management on the sideline with most it not all committee members attending...

Such was not the case within the ranks of Coiste Banaiste....presentation duties were left to Secretary CCC...County Charman or his deputy MIA.....

Where you expecting Larry McCarthy ?

Sorry, thought the discussion was on 'respect for reserve competition' my mistake......

It's seniors or nothing for antrim social media in most cases. That and business.

(BTW it is not a task I would want to do however I do think the coverage of it is poor. Yes Sean Kelly was good but you get posted senior championship draws and nothing else, county underage gets little coverage and saffron business forum etc gets flat out coverage. I get we need money to sustain ouselves but we'll get more of it if we market our things right)

I take it your club has a busy p r o I T G busy sending a selection of your club activities and media including S G ignore....

We did purchase 12 acres of land a while back just a few hundred yards above the Randalstown roundabout on the Antrim road...

The plan was to develop into pitches....

Anybody know what happened.....I presume Antrim still own that land.....??

I know that particular plot of land was advertised for sale a couple of years / 18 months ago.

Don't know if it was ever sold. At the time I thought it would be a stupid move to sell, as through time it could be developed as a championship venue.

Road network handy for almost every team in the county.

But, after all,  it is Antrim, who have managed to completely f**k up the Casement project.

Is it near Ballygrooby roundabout?

Didn't hear about this before and curious as to where exactly it is.

Is indeed a few hundred yards towards Antrim on the left  and the vendor was one of your own....Tir na Nog man.

That was the idea, and a good one at the time....but as you say, 'it is Antrim'.........

Cargin minors playing at 12 also
Not giving anyone a chance to get to both games without a panic
Dunsilly should be used for all senior QFs bar the Rossa st Brigids game

Anticipated such.......but hey such decision will probably provoke a positive response....
