I would say all of these men have served the county well.

Did the lord mayor not play for St Endas? Niall Ward played for Sars and then St Pauls and now Lisburn I think.

a year for st johns after st pauls to.

So to summarize SW transfers mentioned so far
Bellaghy to pg1
Randalstown to creggan
Antrim to creggan
Creggan to Cargin
Creggan to Antrim
Randalstown to cargin
Maybe the LD lads quit as they didn’t get their transfer targets !

add ahoghill to pg1 in there and if I'm not mistaken rtown have an ex creggan forward playing for them at the minute.

You're 100% right Roger Mona, it's time Portglenone delivered too. Definitely a few very middling years finishing 7th 5th and 6th in the league and only one decent championship year in all that time. 2020 a particularly big year for us. But I think we are still on a nice progress curve, a fair bit more to come, and that should leave us "thereabouts" next year. We don't fear anyone now when we have a full team out and we honestly couldnt have said that a few years ago.

The way I see it there is half a dozen good teams that can all beat each other, and even those could lose on any given day to a team in the bottom half. But theres no great team around atm! The St Galls team of a decade ago would beat anything around at the minute out the gate! The same goes for Cargin too. The upside of that is all games are more meaningful, nothing can be taken for granted, and as clubs strive to be the best, hopefully the overall standard of football will keep improving.

Enjoyed reading that. BS half glass full mentality has now progressed to thinking because Casements had a few draws they are ready to deliver😂 They haven't beat any of the big four. St Johns are not in that four, especially under Adams who imo is crap with no ability to change the course of the game. No attacking mind at all. You reference the St Galls team of ten yrs ago, ffs they would have beaten any team in any era. Best club team to have come out of Antrim, GOAT period. The current Cargin team have a championship winning mentality. You say 5/6 teams on a par 😳🙈 Yet Cargin have won four out of the five and on what I seen this year have a manager who can change a game. Your optimism gets ahead of you. Casements now putting themselves under pressure. Do you ever learn. My team Creggan have a bit to go to recover from this year, injuries to our young forwards played it part. I heard one of our posters referencing the O Cahan cup wins.That was cringe worthy reading 🥴 Big year for both our clubs BS. You might be better concentrating on winning a league to build your belief you are ready to step up. Hearing LD management have stepped down which is a surprise considering how close they went, strange call.

I think creggan should concentrate on winning championships and not leagues DK IMO

hearing the mcnulty brothers from st endas are at the helm of kickams next year.... anyone shed any light

Matthew Fitzpatrick & Ryan Murray not on this years panel is a big blow to Antrim.

Would have been good if you had got them on the panel along with Cunningham and Thomas McCann

could be another long year in div 4

a fantastic player to, 3 number 6's that could slot in there

no micko or croizer 

im hearing the antrim footballers are meeting up for a session on Saturday.

[Under 21: - Club Be Under 21 years and Over 16 years]

Under 21: - Club Be Under 21 years and Over 16 years

That would mean a 17 year old can play U21, i,e U17 this year.

that was my taking from that as well.

is this the official rule then or have antrim their own rule?

antrim made there own rule.

The amalgamations at u21 are a bit of a farce too.

who are they at this level

I'd say Lenny will have seen plenty of young talent starting to emerge and expect half a dozen or more new faces in next years panel. He has been at, or represented at nearly every championship game including junior and intermediate, and will have a new shortlist of players he is keen on. I'd go as far as suggest too that Lenny he has a very open mind on recalling a few veterans (two or three from Mick Justy Tomas Pollock Niblock Paddy C etc) if they show any desire or hunger to commit to the cause. At this stage I'd be very optimistic that next year will see a more competitive panel...all we need is to get off to a good start in our first few matches and the momentum would grow from there.

It would be good too if the traditional support would return. An extra three or four hundred at our home games would make a huge difference.

lenny can make all the short lists he wants bannside but nobody in the right mind would goto that set up. 5 nights a week for a div 4 push and at best a win in the qualifiers. I can see why the mick,justys ,Pollock and healys etc's don't go near it.

BS you must be quietly confident about your chances now? a real workman performance last night

Portglenone played with pace and power and I personally felt were more physical than st johns who tried the usual bullying act.
With forwards like Bam,fitzy, conal Kelly, McBride, mcallin and johnty how can st johns only register 2-6 ( two flukes of goals at that ) - I tell you why the puke defensive football that costs them. They done the exact same last year let the shackles off and play a bit would you!! Fair play to Portglenone will be a very interesting game against LD now. Both teams were the underdogs to come through

peter john take your comments else where.
