Who is the Killyclogher player for St Bridgets?

BelSaft

It said on the commentary that Meenagh has been there since 2016?
Would transfers not be common enough? Have Cargin never had any players transfer in? Most Belfast teams would. St Galls always used to get a few. Couple of well known Fermagh men on their AI winning team. Aghnagallon probably never get a better chance to beat the Toome boys. Was McCann harshly red carded? Didn't show it on the stream.

Think that's incorrect on Meenan cos heard yesterday he won a senior championship with Killycloghar a few years ago.

Nothing wrong with a lad transferring in but when a full clan transfers in becuase of an avoidable row with their home club then that's a whole different ball game. Maybe I'm wrong but I've never heard of the like of this anywhere before.

Logans to Ballymena the only one i can remember. The Rossa murphys left for a co down side too

On the Cargin transfer question the famous one is Michael Magill

I thought Meenagh only joined before this season, don't really know much about him tbh. Course Cargin have had the odd transfer before, every club in Ireland has.
And NO it wasn't a harsh red he threw his elbow back straight into an opposing players face off the ball.

I honestly wouldn't have wanted them anywhere near our club. Different if a fella has moved into the area but that Lavey one sounded like a mess. Plus the fact they're taking the place of local lads. I heard Cargin turned them away?

There was talk / rumour at one point Jim but honestly think they were always destined for where they are now.

Maybe he won a championship with Killyclogher in 2016. He has been at NB for 4/5 years now though I think. Based on the weekends performances PG1 have probably taken the favourites tag? Are all Cargins starting 15 homegrown?

NorthAntrim

Lets face it, the situation is made worse where they have ended up. St Brigids have had a good run at underage and should be producing at Senior themselves. This situation will do them more harm than good. I cant see them winning a championship this year and these boys wont be St Brigids players in a few years time. Theyll have lost more players than its worth!

All of Cargin's team yesterday have green blood no imports at all...
Same applies to the successful reserve team.....

That's precisely the point. A strategy like this might see short term success but it will surely have a long term detrimental impact.
I can only imagine their young lads trying to break into the team and how they see it. Will they even stick around? It's not a great club ethos no matter how you look at it.

I had heard the big fullback McShane started out elsewhere. Obviously not though

belfastsaff

Cargin won and thats all they will however find no issue with lavey in the semis.
An important win for Portglenone will surly have sealed the mcnultys fate?
Dunloy will be fearing nobody.

Smith for Dunloy is a county footballer, any others catching the eye over the weekend ?

was thinking of heading to the gorts game but glad i didn't after seeing the scoreline!!
