I believe that Rossa will be top 6 as they won the head to head v Portglenone. Next games are on Saturday so CCC should be producing actual games ASAP.

So the Paddies have decided on a change to league regulations as previously such was decided on score difference..............but hey this is Antrim.
But what happens next....top six play for league.....if that is the case only the top three are in realistic contention.....is there relegation from top six....what of the rest......in the lower section are they just playing to decide on relegation.....is there no relegation again as it may not suit the previous author of change?

??
.....Jeez only in Antrim and all to delay what looks probable again this year.....look which team occupies bottom of the second division.

Next phase of games are on county website

Rossa in Div 1A

Div 1 B & 2 B playing to AVOID relegation.

Sarsfields & Rasharkin have 5 games to save themselves from div 3

both have 3 away and 2 home games.

The way Div2B is looking, Sarsfields and Rasharkin will be the 2 that will go down. The rest should be good enough to stay up.

That would be the 2 teams that would have got relegated to Div 3 last year had the leagues not been changed? A league that Sarsfields felt was below them? yet Aghagallon who won that league last year are currently top on div 2? and Davitts who came 3rd/4th in it last year are also in contention for promotion? think Aghagallon and Davitts showed that sometimes going down isn't the end of the world and a good league run can easily be built on.

Are points in those divisions reset after the split? Looks like they are according to the country website.

Fair play to aghagallon, shit way they went down, shit way they didn't go up last year, no system now will stop them...

Making sure the city teams are in the top half!! Either that or we want to be relegated so we can give the intermediate a go

I know it is only the league MR2 but the pack are closing in and a top four finish is required re seeding

St Galls are hosting West Belfast Talks GAA at the clubs rooms on Monday evening at 7.45pm as part of the festival... our guest speakers will be Paraic Duffy, Donegal ex player Devenney, Sambo and Pete McGrath ... Obviously plenty to talk about with Casement, player welfare, hurling and football well covered

Bit of a shock in minor championship with dunloy beating Creggan by a point last night. Creggan would have been favourites for the championship before a ball was kicked.

Dunloy on for a football/hurling double now.
