News about Big Conor Stewart not good I'm afraid. Fears an ACL joint popped yesterday look to be true. Big loss for us and devastating blow for the big man in the week that's in it!

You feared the worst when it happened, was down a long time and seemed to be in agony.

[Milltown Row2]

Yeah, looked sore on the lad, thought maybe his foot got stuck but considering how hard the ground was there'll be plenty of injuries

[imtommygunn]

That's not good. Big loss as he was developing into a big player for us and hopefully he makes a full and speedy recovery.

PG1 v Aghagallon a good tight contest throughout, second half in particular played with some intensity from both teams. Never much between us.

League is won congratulations BS that's the first major honour tucked away

Relegation places very tight. Good wins for Rossa and TNN  last night and Moneyglass look to be getting pulled in. St Johns look to be pulling themselves out - county hurlers likely a big bearing on this I imagine.

Johnnies just a bit too much for us tonight,looking grim,hoping for a miracle,maybe even KP do us a bit off a fav next wed😉

That's a bit of unfair pressure 

If he's reading this it could go the other way

As for us, we just don't have the the luck or the bounce of the ball to go our way, experience players to get you through the experience of winning tight games is very much missing.

We'll have to accept that a a drop into Div 2 is on the cards, as someone said before, getting out of that would be hard enough also

KP hasn't kicked many pts for us this year lol,just think he should be reffing a top 6 game instead off bottom 7 were we are in ,only fair on him😉

If we'd more ref's we'd have a better spread of people doing games, hard to keep them when the sidelines are hurling abuse for most of the game

[bannside]

Thanks EOC, but we both know that the league is not over and that a Cargin side who has got its mojo and some big names back can kick the door wide open if you beat us next Wednesday. No easy games in top 6, and CB has frequently alluded to our poor statistic card against Erins Own...so we aren't making plans for a victory parade just yet!

Therefore, it is with regret I cannot accept your kind offer of concession, lol.

Very tight in 1B and 2A 👌👌

Good luck to the footballers on Sunday.  Meath are well used to Croke Park so they won't have to settle, but Antrim will.  Hopefully they'll rise to the occasion and enjoy playing in Croke Park.  70 minutes from a very big Final.
