How come the st endas Rossa U21 semi has been postponed tonight ?

Surely there is a facility which could have been used tonight (the dub, UUJ?)

Celtic in the champions league is what I've been told.

That must have been St Enda's request as it certainly wasn't ours.

Our request was due to Villa niteclub doing 90p drinks on a Wednesday night.

What time are you lifting me?

According to Atowns news the county board gave st endas the option to play the game under lights midweek, which they relinquished.

Game now to be played at St Pauls on Sunday.

Where is the B final being played?

[bannside]

That's a big scalp HS. Having said that a lot of your players excelled a few years ago in the Paul Mc Girr tournament, as did St Endas the year before. So maybe not a massive surprise. You've got few clinkers.  Deaghlan Murphy one the Saffron watch list!

Should be a great final.  Aghagallon a well drilled outfit.

Good win HS fair play. I only follow Antrim football from a far but all the chat seemed to be about st endas so you must have a great side. Congratulations

Should be 2 good finals. If it's a double header, hope the first gets finished...

Ps. Well done to slaughtneil, unreal

Is Rossa the only ones capable of this in Antrim ?

We got to both county finals at senior a few years  ago, lost to Cushendall in the hurling...

I'd say Rossa have a chance if they start bringing those lads wholesale onto the senior team and let them develop into senior players, obviously some experience is required from a few older players but it's defo possibility.. keeping them together in the city seems to be harder than our country brethren

Both u 21 finals at Toome

Youse are missing a camogie team though.....

We won a few ladies football titles! And an Ulster title 

[bogieman]

One all Ireland senior final is plenty for a club every generation...

Should the below list not include senior handball ? Maybe it needs corrected...

Why would the first not get finished?  I'm confused!

outside of the football we have won both the ulster camogie & hurling in the same year, 1994 and 2003. be a long time before we are in a senior football final 

club wise, Rossa is the only club who compete at Div 1 in all 3 codes which is credit to the clubs itself.

Dunloy are Div 1 hurling & camogie - Div 2 Football
St Johns are Div 1/2 hurling (who knows) div 1 football, Div 2 Camogie
Ballycastle are Div 1 hurling & camogie, Div 3 football

a few other clubs do compete in the camogie like St Pauls (div3), rasharkin (div3), Creggan (Div2), Tir Na nOg (Div2), Ahoghill (Div3) who play all 3 codes but not at the top level.

Still say Aghagallon for U21 and possibly with something to spare.  Not surprised St Endas were beaten - a lot of good PR coming from there but you need to be able to walk the walk which they have yet to do.

As for the B final - Aldergrove will win it at a canter - good local rivalry all the same.

As such clean sweep of football honours for the Culchies this year:
Senior: Erins Own
Intermediate: St Marys
Junior: Con Magees
U21 A: St Marys
U21 B: St James
Minor: Cuchullains

We could maybe do with Croke Park extending their generosity from Dublin City to Belfast City in order to turn potential into winners.  Now I am not being controversial here - even if the City teams get back in front next year they are probably way off their top end with all things being maxed.

People would argue that St Endas are a south west club now despite where they are located.
