First game of the year for Antrim Footballers today - friendly against St. Mary's (i think) - anyone at the game or know the result?  Almost forgot - Happy New Year to the Saffron faithful!

They won, not sure how much by. PD played well apparantly.

Bound to have been a few more at the match??

Heard big Magill played very well (would be great if that man really went for it - arguably free up Michael McCann further out the field) and confirmation that PD did rightly.

Think it was 3 thirds of a match and maybe Antrim did win by a couple but scores were irrelevant.

Lads, can anyone confirm who got relegated from Div 3 in Antrim?  Seems to be a few unplayed fixtures on Antrim website?

Got chatting to someone last night who was watching the game and he also confirmed Miceal Magill played very well so if that trend continues that indeed could allow Mick McCann further out the field.  PD was also mentioned as someone who stood out - so at least there are 2 lads more than capable of taking a spot on the team who were not involved last year.

Rasharkin & McDermotts are relegated from Div 3 tintin.

Thanks

Great year for Rasharkin in the hurling but it appears to have come at a price with the double relegation in the football.

Fair play to PD who must have been training hard when abroad.

Magill has serious talent. Strong as a bull, good feet and can catch a ball. Need to get his head right though, and keep him off the sup! Good to see PD back, we'll be lacking a bit of height and he has versatility as well.

Not sure really. But with big Niall gone, we could do with another player who can win clean ball around the middle. Especially with the mark rule, depending on if it stays/works etc. I know we have a few, but you can never have too many.

Everything's relative.

Agreed samba. will settle on winning this McKenna cup, good position in the league, run Tyrone close and do well in the Qualifiers.

[Square Ball]

just curious here, who would be the nearest football club to Cushendall?
