where are they normally playing there games at, at the moment anyway?

[imtommygunn]

Anyone venture to teh u21 game and have a report?

Bannside you're bound to have went? Any reports?

[culchie11]

went to u21's last night, headed down optimistic, but left thinking same old antrim!!
couldnt have got off to a better start, 1-04 without reply, won every break at midfield, early ball in,
mckeever was causing havoc at full-forward!!
the sending off opened it up more and suited tyrone more!
then antrim stopped doing what was working, started running with ball, running into tackles.
alot of simple basic errors!!
justin crozier was played with mckeever in 2 man ff line!!
wasted in my opinion.
the thing that also turned it for tyrone was their freak goal!!
antrim keeper just watched it sail in, never moved, a ball came into the square & he just froze!!
not a challenge on him, not sure what was going on, it wasnt as if the lights were blinding, it wasnt that high!!
antrim ran out of steam in second and tyrone went up through the gears to pull clear!!
wasnt dirty game, how ref sent four off i dont know!!
best on show were mcveigh from aldergrove at corner back, cj & mckeever was decent in first half!!

Can anyone post the article from the Irish News with the list of players?

[Saffrons]

Antrim 3.20 London 0.04
Good win tonight especially good for points difference if it comes down to it (ours is 78 30 above nearest challenger, Sligo). Harder game next week.
Only saw the second half, we played reasonably well against a weak side and again some very poor shot selection was evident.

[A Quinn Martin Production]

From the BBC:

Antrim hammered lowly London to ensure that they will remain top of Division 4 after this weekend's matches.

The Saffrons made late changes with CJ McGourty and Justin Crozier among four players not considered because of apparent disciplinary breaches.

But their absence didn't really matter as Antrim led 0-11 to 0-2 at the break.

Paddy Cunningham and Michael Pollock were among the goalscores in the second half at Casement Park.

Thomas McCann and Cunningham hit the opening scores before Enda Gallagher opened London's account.

Antrim then hit eight unanswered scores, with Mark Dougan and Declan O'Hagan also among the points, but London were getting plenty of chances of their own in the first half as they wracked up nine wides.

Dermot Keating also had a great first-half goal chances for the Exiles but he lost his footing at the crucial moment.

By the interval, Antrim were nine ahead and Cunningham's penalty added to their advantage early in the second period.

The remainder of the game was a procession of scores as the Saffrons ran out 25-point winners.
