Antrim Football Thread

I admit I'm a little bit surprised- pleasantly so - at that result. 2.14 is a big score to run up too and without the player who is our biggest goal threat. Augurs well for the campaign ahead. If we beat Offaly, who lost today, we are in great shape for a promotion tilt rather than a relegation fight. Well done Andy and squad.

Is there any news on those 2 who pulled out through injury?

Didn't hear what the injuries were.

What 2?

Cathal Hynds and McCann (Aghagallon) were named to start but didn't with injury.

Good result today. Limerick are relegation favs but still its a good showing away from home with a convincing win. Well done all. Much toucher games ahead though.

We'll take it.  a good start, that's all we can ask for.  expected to be a tight league so any points gained will be worth it

All the negatives around the McKenna cup gone now? Better looking squad now. Good to see Burns getting a start, scoring forward we need making a league debut with Keenan also making a solid start. McAleese back fit hopefully he gets a good run injury wise. Throw Peter Healy back in along with hopefully McCabe, Loughran and a few others we're looking in decent shape! Is there any chance of seeing Ryan Murray in an Antrim jersey this year? Eastwood?

Play once and breaks into  top and bottom?

[BelSaft]

Play once. Bottom team relegated. Top 4 play in semi final and league final.

Play once. Bottom team relegated. Top 4 play in semi final and league final.

Apparently top 4 playoffs for league and bottom 4 playoff for relegation. One down. One relegated via championship also. Must be bottom team of each group into playoffs. Dunloy senior and seeded and Ballymena playing intermediate

Congrats to Ballymena and Aldergrove on their promotion to Division 1, what an achievement lads

Big step in the wrong direction. Silly move. Would love to hear the justification for this. It will simply demean the league even further.

[imtommygunn]

The relegation battle from division one was more interesting than half the championship. Really can't understand why they've done this. Bad move.

Dont forget the teams who have dodged the drop

What a farce
