Tommy Murphy final 2008 Antrim 3-12 Wicklow 1-15......

Made the trip over to Jtown last night to watch the seniors in a friendly v jtown. Jtown weren't far off full strength with McHugh Karl McK lee Brennan mckinless and a few other notable county players all featuring. However after what I seen last night it might be a long year in division 4. This is what I took from the game:

1. A few players are not upto the standard not naming names but a few players from aghagallon and Ballymena.

2. James Smith from St bridgets was excellent chipping in with 1.4/5 from play and that's with playing a tough ulster match yesterday - we will need him this year.

3. Ricky  J needs to be the county full back

4. Paddy Nugent needs to be number 1

5. We are really struggling at midfield and I feel in a few weeks time Chrissy McK and Bradley could dominate us.

6. Despite setting up defensively still leaked goals and let Jtown walk through the defence. I have no issue with setting up defensively however when attacking antrim did not commit enough players to the attack still holding 2/3 spare men in defence.

Take a chance we cant get relegated from division 4!!

What was the starting team? Or what sort of strength were we fielding?

Can't fault your honesty..

Gold

Totally agree. I know we have to defend but jesus who cares if we only score 0-8.

Need to attack in numbers

Few young cracking forwards we need playing like Smith.

Young boy Henvey for Brigids is still in school but scored and involved in all goals the other day. Check the highlights. Need to bring proper forwards through to assist Murray etc

Belfast GAA man

Saw Jose Brolly's son a few years ago and he was a cracker - is he one of the main men in the St Brigids u21 team ?

imtommygunn

He's a sub. Still a few years left at u21 though.

My only thing being that i think the championship winner should get promotion so the following year they are playing a grade up. ie if you win JFC you also get promotion to Div 2, if its the same team that win the league then the next team down gets promotion also.

Points a Good Score

Agree with the promotion option summarised above, they operate a similar system in Tyrone, however the relegation via championship is nonsensical you could hypothetically lose all your league games, get a bye into the quarter final of the championship get beat there and still stay up.
