ocallaghan and ferris have been excellent for ballymena this year, power and pace from the half back line, those two take some watching

100% SO82 about those two!

Let's just say their progress has been noted! Two of our best performers in last years narrow under 20 defeat to Donegal on penalties in Ballybofey..

yep, oCallaghan never put a foot wrong that night in Ballybofey

Níl a fhios agam

Watched majority of the Casements v Cloney game last night. was a bit of bite to it in spells though Casements a far fresher fitter team who look hard to beat. Cloney look a tired team and very reliant on their old guard though some of their younger players would get on mist teams. Have to say i thought you lad Lynn was well marshaled and to be fair Casement had a good spread of scorers

Add Cahir Donnelly and Johnny Hannon to the promising U20 players above, both v impressive in Cargin v Aghagallon game last night. Not a dig, but Aghagallon quite negative throughout which made Johnnys coring performance all the more impressive.

With the team they had out It's difficult to 'open' up against such a talented Cargin team away from home?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

True. Dont blame any team which are depleted keeping score down and credibility against the likes of Cargin, Casements and Creggan at the moment.

Also seen St.galls where pipped by TNN. after a promising start, Galls surely disappointed at that result. TNN havent been good, though their hurlers are doing rightly

Its the same team nearly for Randalstown, as it is for Clooney..

Tir na Og beat St Enda's last week and have 3 less points than the leaders, so not sure they share your thoughts on 'havent been good'

TNN have beaten the 3 worst teams in the league, Drew with a struggling Lamh Dearg and got hammered by All Saints and Brigids before they pipped Galls last night. Lets just say the money they are forking on Jackman, i thought they would have shown more signs of Progression. Though will still stay up as Moneyglass, Glenravel, Aldergrove and Endas are awful at the moment

Clooney's aging team are starting to show a few too many miles on the clock, but you have to respect them as a small rural parish who have probably maximised their potential from the resources available to them for the last decade. That's more than most clubs can say!

I think you see that with some rural clubs. Certain families get quite large at the same time etc. Graham's and O'Connell's seem a sizable contingent of their teams.

Yes, that is why I said not a dig

Legs are well and truely on the way out at 35+ which a good few Ahoghill lads are but fair play. And plenty of youth about too

I will judge what progression Jackman has made once the 4 or 5 starters from the panel are back available.

He is doing a good job with what he has at the minute and we've had some good results despite those players missing.

And it won't be a judgement based on whatever made up number you have in your head for what he is being paid.

Níl a fhios agaim indeed.....

very good. Yes lets judge at the end of the season, though with previous records club and county i hope expectations arent too high
