7 in a row. that's some feat

you need to get into double digits before it is truly notable.

12 out of past 13 years. one blemish. we ain't complaining

That's sum record! Who has the most medals in the club?

Chris Kerr, great save today from the penalty, which if they had have converted they probably could have won

Sean Burns has the most, 15 maybe and hasn't played the last couple

Yes, think slabbering to linesman and referee

[bloodybreakball]

He pushed the linesman, the complete and utter clown, sideline the best place for him.

[Corkey22]

He was only on for about a minute before he got the line. Liability

Wasn't a game for the purists that's for sure, Cargin playing 2 man ff line, O'Boyle when he got the ball looked the sharpest and scored a couple of great points and was pulled down for the penalty, Magill didn't get much out of Andy, took a great score near the end though.

Sean tracked Tomas for the whole first half so wasn't on the ball at all till the second half when he influenced the game (as he normally does) Mick McCann lorded midfield, don't know why Anto picked him up as I'd have thought Aidso would have been better, we didn't win many kick outs from both keepers, Burkey was a big loss in that respect and Ciaran also for sweeping up all the breaking ball.

Scullion was anonymous for Cargin I thought, and we'd lads that had a lot more to give I thought. Though in fairness there wasn't a lot of room once the ball went up into the forward line, Cargin had big numbers and if the ball wasn't off loaded quickly we lost it. We might get to an Ulster final again this year but we'd need to play a lot better,  based on that showing we'd get knocked out handy enough. Saying that we usually play a lot better once out of the Antrim Championship.

Cargin won't be going away that's for sure, they will be back next year and are still the only team to really stop us.

Pity these teams or some of the players from both clubs wouldn't settle their differences with county management,and give the county a chance of progressing. Time to stop acting like prima donnas before it's to late,nobody is getting any younger.
Hurlers need to get their act together as well. But it's not going to happen......not in Antrim.Not much wonder we are consider a bit of a joke in both codes.

Is Jackson Mc Greevy the same lad that captained Antrim U21 hurlers??

What grade do St Galls play in at underage football or are they similar to a modern day Ballinderry by bringing through 1-2 very good players each year??

Yes to first point, and we haven't got past first round minor in a while

Walter like yourselves we had a very productive youth set up, the lads that are the main seniors, Kelly, McLean, Brady Stewart, and the rest all were on the same teams right through juvenile, winning hurling and football, they all moved on to the senior team at the right time and won their first Senior together, they haven't looked back.

Culbert brought them all together, a gamble as they were all young but managed to get to an Ulster final and were beat by The Loup. If yous bring those lads through together they could be as strong as Ballinderry.

We won 4/5 minor and under 21's in the same period, we've lost some decent footballers at those levels as you can only play 15 but we have brought on 1 or 2 a year but it's still mainly the same bunch from 13 years ago.

We haven't won a minor championship for a good while so it's bound to stop soon

Sitting close to St Galls subs at game and their lack of respect for managment team was hard to believe. One 'big' player in particular was playing to the crowd giving his opinion to all who were close enough to hear. Honestly shocked by it from a team like St Galls.

Was this one 'big' player a sub or someone who was suspended ?
