Bad pass, actually overcarried before passing, possible foul on the keeper. But the lad should turned and went the other way.

The goal they conceded in the first half was also criminal.

Be a long winter for pg1 with that match in the rear view mirror, defensive work was spot on but have to take the chances when they come. They can be sore over the goal and one or two cards not given, thems the breaks. In a tight game experience told rather than any difference in quality, undoubtedly for Cargin it was a match they felt they would find a way.

RD spoke true in IN on being glad for a gap to next game to reset, they'll need a few more gears for Ulster however that's the champions prerogative and congratulations to them, Champions have the knack of not losing and they had the ability to take their chances.

While only a slabbering, in a clean game,  not great to see Cargin non playing panel members trying to get involved in pushing and shoving, while minor stuff that type of crap should be dealt with heavily by officials.

Good to see a competitive final, not great that it was only so as both teams dropped the ball and got turned over time and again.

Houghton annoys me.

Always talks in hindsight - he should have done this or done that.

Dining out on Euro and World Cup goal.

FFS, what more does a man need to do to dine out?

Firstly, congratulations to Cargin, great club, you know how to grind em out. Good luck in Ulster, all Antrim will be behind you.

Casements didn't fear Cargin before the game and round the club we feel like it's one we lost, rather than Cargin won.

The video is going around that shows we had a good goal disallowed, and we thought when Dermot was black carded, Mick got away with an exact same foul a few minutes later. Those things hit hard when refereeing gets it wrong or is perceived to not be consistent.

And we thought  Enda Lynn should have got a free in to level it in extra time.

Those who wish to comment please do so, just take the time to review the evidence beforehand.

Portglenone will suck it up, and will come back for more. Now that we know we can go toe to toe with Cargin for an hour, our challenge is to go find that extra couple of per cent.

Good luck Cargin, but don't go looking down your noses at us no more! We arnt far away...and best of all... youse know it!

Agree with that all, as a neutral, apart from the Lynn "free" at the end.

He was looking for it.

But ports were the better team (just lacking a quality forward) and I said from the moment the ball hit the net, that was a legitimate goal..... But typically Cargin were able to use their experience and influence to make the call for the officials.

Especially on the black card.... Karol has a lot to answer for on that one.

A great day of drinking and chatting before tomorrow's turning point in the Kilcoo onslaught of Down football. Talking to a few stalwarts of Down football and they're all agreed that Burren win this by 5+ points. Kilcoo will get a red card early and hopefully Moore from CPN will do us a favour the way Darren did for them a couple of years ago. Not that we'll need a favours. Would just turn a 1/2pt win in to a more comfortable watch! Odhran player of the match and Ronan McGrath x Ryan Treanor to be close behind him. The torch is about to be passed. Burren for Ulster in my opinion. Magpies aren't what they were, heard it here first folks.

We had a great evening of celebrating which will continue long into tomorrow. Burren could have been doing with some of the stalwarts they wouldn't have done any worse. That is the worst team ever to contest a senior final! We stevie will be under some pressure now.

Former Cavan midfielder Dermot McCabe looks set to be the next Westmeath football manager, replacing Dessie Dolan.
McCabe's name will go before a Westmeath county board meeting on Tuesday for approval.

The 1997 All-Star was coach to Mickey Graham's Cavan when they won the 2020 Ulster title.

Since then, he has had an involvement with his club Gowna's back-to-back Cavan titles in 2022 and 2023.

McCabe will replace Dessie Dolan who stepped down after two years in charge.

While the pulling of county players from district board championships will cause some disquiet I think in a lot of cases it's badly needed. The Cliffords for one thing have been flogged these past 2 years. Not helped by Jack calling on them for Rd2 of the league in Clones last year either when they were meant to have half the league off.

I think/hope that it will be players who are still in County Senior Championship that get pulled or "decide" not to play. But it will cause trouble in certain cases as the district championships have big tradition and interest in them.

Regarding the district championships, would certain areas take them more seriously than others? I've always got the impression that the South Kerry is taken quite serious? Would this be the same in all districts?
Also, would a club like St Mary's Cahersiveen view winning the South Kerry as a bigger deal than an All county junior/intermediate championship?
