Jackman is obviously well placed to comment on the state of underage football in Antrim, and maybe his points deserve an airing at some stage. But the timing of that article was appalling.

All those games should be moved forward by at least a half hour.

It's head to head if only two teams on same pints so yeah, massive game v Wicklow to come. They will be up for it after today's win, it won't be easy won. But really if we can't beat Wicklow at home we have no place in Div 3.

Listening to the game today on Clare FM, seems the red card was very damaging.

It's entirely possible that with the 4 points we already have on the board we will be safe. There are 3 teams with 0 points and we still have to play one of them, Wicklow, at Corrigan. The Irish News this morning described Sundays game v Westmeath as 'must win' which it is not. We maybe do need one more win to be safe, but we have 3 games left.

Then it's onto the Tailteann Cup and hopefully some players back to strengthen the squad.

Agreed the ref was quick to blow our lads up for over carrying but not Down, very notable a few times. Yes Mick was our most influential player - his points and two top class saves - but that shouldn't be the case.

Staying in Div 3 the real aim so lets hope we get one or two more wins and better performances before championship.

Very disappointing performance today. Thought we looked like a team from a different division. 1.6 won't win many games

Great photo on the back page of the Irish News GAA supplement - shows how much the win meant to the players

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.

Hopefully we will get radio coverage for today's game. Limerick FM usually has commentary for their home games.

I think it's good thing for Antrim players to be playing at a reasonably high level of schools football. Better that than them all to lose and exit competitions early

That's about it.

Well I assume you say 'All Antrim schools now out of the McLarnon Cup. Can't be a good thing' on the basis that Antrim players aren't playing in latter stages?

I'm pointing out that there are Antrim players who will be playing for Knock in the final, and that is a good thing for Antrim.

Just an observation.

I think I remember an article about Cavan starting up senior hurling again and they had a few Dublin lads (iirc) playing for them. Via their mother.

Can be done.  Maybe more lower teams should be looking at thst route?  8)

'Via their mother' that suggests there does have to be some link? Other posts suggest no link required if up to three players. It's an interesting one - be good to get some clarity. Good luck to Christy all the same, I hope he does well.

Quote from: Spike on January 25, 2024, 11:27:07 AMhow are St Malachys and St Marys CBS performing these days?

which Belfast school is the closest to competing at McRory Level?

Don't know what grade CBS and St Malachys are in; we will see tomorrow which school is closest to McCrory level I suppose. But I imagine none will move into McCrory before winning MacClarnon.

All Belfast semi final in MaClarnon  Cup tomorrow, Knock v Rathmore in Beechmount. Aquinas went out yesterday, Abbey from Donegal a very strong team, won't be easily beaten.
