Quote from: Beirbua2024 on October 17, 2024, 05:46:27 PMIIRC last year it was u19 and this year is u21 meaning a player could've missed out last year being 19 and back in the fold this year as u21. Surely that's a positive for many clubs getting lads back playing who may have wavered or just not cut it at senior level so think an acknowledgement to all clubs who voted to revert the age groups back is appropriate.

Soft pitches and cold weather hopefully won't take away from some good football. Reminds me of school football when the weather and pitches aren't great so a lot of the players will be used to it.

Last chance for a City team to make an impact this year or will they be barren of championship silverware this season?

Minor championship not count? One Belfast team beat another in the final.

A highly entertaining final but agree, low quality. Both sides made bad decisions in and out of possession. PG1 will be kicking themselves especially over missed frees in second period of extra time. Some of Cargin's most effective players were the old hands again. KOBO still a class act after all these years, and Mick. Hard luck Casements, took the game to Cargin from the first whistle.

Good luck to Cargin in Ulster.

 It wasn't a shock. Aggies won all group games against good opposition

Cahair is being well briefed from within Creggan so I think we can assume this is correct.

Now confirmed

If they declare it's a replay wouldn't be this weekend in order to stick to original calendar? Or maybe not enough time to notify the fixture to allow for game this weekend. That would push the final back surely

Great job today from Cargin hosting the game. Big number of volunteers managing traffic etc.

Congratulations to Casements Bannside, didn't think anyone saw that conclusion coming. Is Doherty the midfielder? Caught some great high balls.

We went up to Dunloy expecting exactly what we got, a tough game against a good side. Awful conditions today, the wind was certainly a factor.

Quote from: Square Ball on August 31, 2024, 09:24:55 AMSt Mals and Eire Og finish level on points, head to head a draw, both have - 2 score difference, looks as if Mals go though, was it points scored next?

Second and third in each group move into QF, so they both progress.

The four bottom teams go into a relegation play off, 2 semis and a 'final' - losing team drops to intermediate for next year.

So Moneyglass aren't down yet, all 4th place get two chances to avoid relegation

Well, it will be eventful I think we can count on that! I think it shows ambition from the County, Davy could give the squad that little bit extra, maybe claim a few big victories in one season - you never know where that could take us.

Good article in today's papers about Declan Lynch calling time on his county career.

Fair play to him, he owes county nothing at this stage and can bow out knowing his contribution was always at a consistently high level and very much appreciated by supporters.


Definitely agree with this, Declan never gave anything less than everything. A standout memory for me is the league game v Cavan last year, we were on a run of defeats and needed a win to stay up, towards the end we had a lead and Cavan were coming back into it, Declan took the situation by the scruff of the neck and with a few runs and a few hits, made sure we held the lead and retained our divisional status.

Of course it matters, it's the championship we are in, we can't win, or advance to latter stages of a competition we are not in, so we have to aim to win the Tailteann Cup.

There were far more Antrim supporters in Croke Park on Sunday than you ever see at a league game in Corrigan. Part of that is the appeal of seeing the county playing on the big stage and that's perfectly fine. The prize for winning is entry into the Sam Maguire competition in 2025 which we would not win, but which would lift the profile of the game and the team beyond anything we could hope for while playing Div 3 and Tailteann Cup. It matters to Down, to Sligo, to Laois and rightly it matters to Antrim too.

Anyone think that if we were playing Down on July 13th in the final that it wouldn't be an enticing prospect? It would have been huge.
