How does the pub scene work in Lurgan; has each of the 4 clubs their own pubs or do they congregate together?

Yesterday's game was probably one of those with the biggest gulf (19th team in Tyrone v 3rd team in Antrim) based on league. And that 3rd place for Ballymena came without their 4 county players for much of the league.
In Conor Stewart and Paddy McAleer they've two of the best players in Antrim. Kavan Keenan, was on the Taitleann Cup team of the year. Anybody that thought Derrylaughan should have been strong favourites yesterday was very naive. It was a remarkable game played in the right spirit and a credit to the two sides.

They should dominate Cavan championship for a few years and have good go at winning Ulster in the near future. Kilcoo experience won it last night but know they have to improve if they are to compete to win any further games this year.
Not sure how you can say Crosserlough should be dominating Cavan for years to come when Gowna are there having been denied 3 in a row this year, a young side and have plenty of talent coming. They also have beaten Crosserlough in all of the big games they've met in over the last number of years.

Alot to admire about that crosserlough performance though.
Discipline questionable maybe but did they deserve 3 blacks and a red card?
Tyrone men have given them an edge pity they couldn't get it done.
No they didn't deserve that. What was second black for? The abuse the referee allowed against McVeety was shocking.
The red was 2 yellows but I wonder did he even receive the first yellow as he seemed fairly bewildered?
Honestly it's hard to say Kilcoo deserved that, Crosserlough were unlucky but Kilcoo a bigger name and got the rub of green big time. They also dive a lot. Overall I'd say Kilcoo will need to improve to win Ulster but they're very difficult to play against.

Is it?
Not sure it's a shock tbf
Well your talking about the bookies favourites for Ulster in Derrylaughan
And 2/7 favorites for the game.
So it's safe to say it would be a shock to most.
But as an Antrim man yourself it may not be; as bookies can be sometimes wrong with these club games.
Ballymena put a lot of effort into the league this year in Div, finished in a top 4 position and have a few county players. Definitely thought they'd have a decent chance, games level in extra time, could be penalties at this rate
