Five players from Ballymena, do they play in the senior football league?

They finished bottom half of Div 2 last season, those players are likely the better ones.

is D1 senior, D2 intermediate, D3 junior?

not really - you have a choice in DIV 2 of championships, most play in Intermediate, some opt for Senior, like Glenavy last year
Ballymena played in intermediate
Treble 6 Nations Fantasy Rugby champion 2008, 2011 & 2012

Ballymena played in intermediate

and some play JFC like Ardoyne this year.

un related and probably should be on the hurling thread but not really a hurling post as such, but are Davitts playing in a Junior B all Ireland championship? and was there a football competition for this level?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Really encouraging panel, perhaps the best in years.  So many new faces.  I'm confident this new panel of hungry players, with the peerless Lenny as manager alongside his formidable backroom staff, will be able to maintain our Div 4 status, perhaps for a couple of years. Very confident. 

CJ for captain anyone - for the icing on the Christmas cake?

Great game of football under our new lights there. Dunloy last year's minor champs beat us by a point and meet Tir Na Nog in the U 21 B final. Decent crowd too for a Tuesday night!

Na Glinntí Glasa

missed the game BS as i was in Dublin at the Ireland match but by all accounts it was a great game of football. our guys were well impressed with the new pitch and flood lighting, all that hard work was worth it.

Its a good bunch of fellas we have and if they stuck at it theres no reason we couldnt win the A in a few years time. we have never won an U21 title at football before so it would be nice to hopefully win the B.
hurl like f**k boi!

bannside

It was a great open game DR with plenty of quality players on both sides. Deaghlan Smyth was impressive, could step up to a higher level in the next few years, but there were a few others that could also be said of.

Yea tbh we are well pleased with our new facility. The playing surface is class despite the recent weather. Well worth the few years hard graft put in by members.

From an outsider looking in I like the current county board set up and what they are trying to do. Seem to be trying to get antrim up there. I don't know a lot about the man going for the top spot but his statement sounded very backward. I think yous are on a bettr path than a few years ago or am I wrong?

that panel is bleak viewing, in my opinion there are a lot of boys out of their depth and not up to standard required for county football  :'( :'( :'(
