Strange dig at Belfast there CB, Ryan Murray was far and away Antrims best performer. You must class Hannahstown as SW territory…

The biggest concern for me was the difference in the conditioning, those Cavan lads are in serious shape and Antrim looked nowhere near them in terms of sheer size and strength.
Ricky Johnston was a massive miss and unfortunately we dont have an able replacement for full back. Marty surely should have slotted in there? Was he injured?
Ryan Murray the only forward we had today, took some class scores. Mcaleese, mcaleer, stewart and byrne the only other players who made some sort of impact.

There is no excuse why we shouldnt be competing given the population and the number of clubs we have. But it is what it is.
The fact that we dont have a school competing ay macrory is nothing short of an embarrassment. I know that every maghera/magherafelt team that wins it have antrim players. And even the aghagallon lads that won it with st ronans.
But the number of clubs in west belfast is ridiculous, the fact they cant produce a team to atleast compete at macrory is extremely worrying.
I know this argument is a broken record in this chat but i feel it really does need adressed.

Disappointing not to go up after that start we had but at the end of the day the main objective was to stay up and we achieved that. All in all i think it was a positive campaign and we can build on it for next year. Promotion next year should definitely in the thinking.
The league is still the best competition the GAA had on offer.

Division 3 will be tight but absolutely no reason we cant get promoted. Nothing to fear.

Brutal stuff. Kilcoo were brilliant though, a few levels above. They will be hard beat.

Never seen the game today but a respectable result. Usually we get tanked against the bigger teams no matter what the competition. Seemed to be in the game all the way. I know its mckenna cup but positive all the same.
Hopefully the lads can carry their form into the league and no reason why we cant have a proper rattle at it.

Fair play to him. Always liked him as a player. Very powerful.

Decent win. Controlled the games for the most part. Poor final ball at times but all in all a positive performance.

Love watching mcaleese play, no fear, a highly skilled footballer and is very level headed. Would be my candidate for the role.
Hopefully big shivers gets a chance to make his mark. Could be Antrims talisman for years to come.
