Massive effort and huge shift put in, pitch seemed heavy. Slowed things down a bit

Cargin unlucky on some shot selections some frees going against them also

Wasn't pretty but tense

Was pretty tense

Definitely well in the game at HT.

That's not strictly the case any more, parents now have a choice to hold a kid back a year if they judge that to suit their child better. Pretty sure that option is in place now

Cargin v Glen is live on TG4, be good to get watch it in full broadcast quality.

Did anyone think there was more Donegal supporters than Antrim?

The Irish News certainly reports that Cargin supporters were heavily outnumbered.

The Cargin men have to be on the windup on here surely.

The bitterness runs deep. Very strange behaviour.

Well done Cargin, some nerve to come back at the death twice and win on penalties

Well down to St Brigids today. A very strong second half

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that U15, Minor and U20 champions - impressive.

Yes that is correct, great game yesterday, Moneyglass a strong team too .

Best wishes to our senior county champions tomorrow. Would love to see Cargin progressing.

Some people need to learn how to lose with a bit of grace. Ridiculous comments which do a disservice to Cargin.

I haven't listened to the podcast, no inclination to, but their twitter commentary at the moment is bizarre. Refs should just accept abuse or resign from the role??

There was a much more balanced discussion on abuse of refs on Talkback today 

Thanks EOC, today was an immense battle with a strong Glenravel team. We knew it would be tough, as our second league game against the same opposition was. Very happy for this brilliant group of players to get the win. It was an epic final. A very happy group today.

There are minor titles at three grades up for decision this Sunday.

Looks like Aghagallon didn't have much to worry about in the end

IF Sundays game had of finished in a draw after extra time Aghagallon would be playing in the replay tomorrow afternoon, not much difference so really no grounds to complain about playing tonight at 7.30pm.
Fixtures involving minor and u20 have been extremely poor. U20 hurling semi finals scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, some Dunloy and Cushendall players starting or on bench for seniors on Sunday have had to withdraw from their u20 panels, not sure if either will field now, crazy situation for a championship semi final. The fact that both clubs appealed to ccc to rearrange the fixture but it fell on deaf ears speaks volumes for the disconnect and to be honest disregard some CB members have for our clubs and players.

If Sunday's game had finished level, Aghagallon would be playing Cargin in a replay tomorrow, not Ballymena - so both clubs would have been in the same boat.  Not ideal for either club.  The question is why do the fixtures committee seem to have no peripheral vision?  Another week and no one would have said a word. 

When did Aghagallon request a postponement? Just this week, after Sundays final? But they knew all along the gap between the final and their play off, why not ask for the postponement prior to last Sunday?
