Antrim Football Thread

[country bumpkin]

My view is that PG1 have to make a statement in this game and this is one JMK would have been targeting for quite sometime now, if they do not win this relatively comfortably they have not moved forward much


Moving on from the never ending Sh*tshow which is Casement, any predictions for the weekend?

Lisburn v Sarsfields- Sarsfields by 7
Glenavy v Antrim- Glenavy by 5
Rasharkin v Glenravel- Glenravel by 9
Teresa's v St Pauls- St Pauls by 4
Dunloy v Ardoyne- Dunloy by 2


St Galls v Creggan- Creggan by 7
Brigid's v Moneyglass- Draw
Gorts v TNN- TNN by 3
St Enda's v Rossa- Rossa by 2
LD v St Johns- Draw
Ahoghill v PG1- PG1 by 8

Have you ever been to a Portglenone v Ahoghill game? Ports by 8 🤦‍♂️

That was my thought as well!

Ahoghill might not win but they'll not let PG1 get that much of a lead on them.

If they can't put them away by 7/8 they haven't chance against Creggan or Cargin. That result would demonstrate genuine progress. A 2/3 pts win is the same as the past few seasons

Ahoghill v Casement's is always a close hard fought affair and will be close..
Any winning margin which may  be enjoyed by the Ports will be celebrated....not certain.

I didn't realise there was event with information on the new Casement Park at the Feile or I would of went. Was there any sort of outline given for a start date?

No certainty of start date, but its clear its not imminent. There was lots of talk about business case, engagement with Gov departments, and the potential of the stadium to regenerate West Belfast and the city. All very upbeat but while I was there (and I had to leave before it ended).

Not even a ball park date? Christ this is soooooooo bad

Current ring fenced funds aren't sufficient. Until the delta is addressed it's not happening.

Yet the Antrim County Board persist with the line that the money will be found via the Stormont pool of money which is returned to the Finance Minister every year.
The same county board who let Casement fall into a state of disrepair without one penny of funding in place.
The same county board who now have signed Casement over to the Ulster Council after insisting that would never happen.

Great performance from the ladies. Well done to all

[Milltown Row2]

Yes some energy in that heat!!!

It's been a cracking year for Antrim in finals this year ...

[Belfast GAA man]

Great to see Gaelfast doing some great work brining kids down to croke park to play on it . My grandson blown away

[Stillwater2]

Nothing to do with Gaelfast. Every county invited to take part over a few days. Clubs applied and were picked at random apparently.

[Milltown Row2]

This has been going on for years

[Belfast GAA man]

Oh right . Article I read was Gaelfast organising   Anyway

[Stillwater2]

They will try to put their name to anything that is successful

[imtommygunn]

Intermediate games mostly as expected bar st teresas beating St. Pauls and the scale of the Dunloy win.

Senior mostly as expected thus far. Looks like ld will win.

Well done to the ladies. Fantastic win.

[paddyjohn]

Dunloy a different side with Cunning and Molloy playing.

[country bumpkin]

So results today would suggest PG1 and Cargin are through to next phase of SFC..
Creggan require a win at Corrigan in the next round if the Lamhs win at Milltown ?

A point is enough for Creggan.

What was the score in portglenone game?

[bannside]

Think it was 0-14 to O -11.

Ahoghill came from four down to draw level with ten to go but Casements showed a bit of character to kick on despite hitting the crossbar and missing a last minute penalty. Typical local derby, was never going to be pretty. Job done from a PG1 perspective.
