Antrim Football Thread

[Milltown Row2]

Wouldn't be many better forward lines than Tomas, Ryan, Matt Fitz, Conor Small and a really sharp CJ. All top notch footballers. As I said previously, we might not have 25 clinkers but we have no excuse if we can't send out 15 players at any one time to compete in division three.

Sean Pats progress should be watched with interest too and of some of the other really good young forwards there's Liam Quinn, Deaghlan Murphy and possibly Eamonn Fife to look forward to. Of course there's more that's not a definitive list by any means.

Tomas gone from the panel from what I can hear

Bigger fish to fry

Just breaking for a few weeks his wife had another child.

Some score from Kevin Small to win that replay tonight. Watched it on Armagh TV.

Outside of the absence of Tomas wondering just where have his brothers Michael and Paul gone, andjust where are Justin Crozier, John Carron, the Burke brothers, Sean and Conor, Mickey Pollock, Ricki Johnston, Niall Mc Keever, Paddy Kelly, Eoin Mc Neill, Benny Hasson gone ?

Benny Hasson left Rasharkin?

[Points a Good Score]

A hell of a lot of creggan guys on that team (well squad) from magherafelt who made it to macrory tonight which is good to see.

Quinn and small looked like big talents from what i saw last year.

Are they minor again?

Three from Moneyglass as well, two starters and one on the bench. Hopefully bodes well for Antrim football in the long run.

Liam Quinn still minor but Small is overage

Cheers. It is good to see although i so,etimes think it is worrying that most of the best of our south west talent gets coached schools football in derry!

Agree it's worrying but at least they are getting coached somewhere and bringing it back here.

I recall Quinn and Small standing out at under 12 level before they went to St Mary's Grammar Mfelt....so I wouldn't be too quick to say that their school was where they learned to play football. Marty Johnston was class for St Patrick's Ballymena before he transferred to St Pats Maghera. Just saying......

[Hectic]

Is Adams not coaching Gaelic football up in Ballymena?

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

he teaches at St Louis in Ballymena, hes involved in the football there at the school.

[Hectic]

Are they making any strides under him?  Not a MacRory team to the best of my knowledge?

[Points a Good Score]

Would tend to agree with Bannsides sentiments, whilst the coaching they are receiving in the Derry schools is helping the good work done in the clubs is where those boys got a solid grounding.

Also an Antrim man who is at the helm of the St Marys MacRory coaching panel.

Not worrying at all.

We (Antrim) need to focus on coaching in the clubs. We also need to focus on certain schools. For example St Louis and St Mary's De La Sal, etc, because these schools serve Antrim clubs in their areas.

But due to our geography, we can take advance of Magherafelt, St Pius, Maghera, Lurgan, Coleraine and in some cases Colmans to serve Clubs from other areas

In theory, Antrim should be in a great position for youth coaching
