As I say that Aidso plucks a crucial one out of the sky. Possibly first one all night.

Edit: Ha, and another. And a third

[BrendanAntrim]

Last few scorers for Naomh Gall: Gallagher, Niblock, Bradley. The old stagers

[gallsman]

Wouldn't call Bradley an old stager to be honest.

If Portglenone end up losing this they really need to ask questions of themselves. Should have been out of sight and St. Gall's were out on their feet.

Bad free to miss at the end. Entertaining game. Niblock some boy to win ball too.

First time I will have watched penalties.

[gallsman]

Yup, should have been the end of it. Not sure they needed to give quite so many frees away after it either.

[imtommygunn]

Cargin won by 22!

[imtommygunn]

Yup, should have been the end of it. Not sure they needed to give quite so many frees away after it either.

Though on the flip side portglenone missed a few ones to almost put the game away.

[BrendanAntrim]

Shouldn't this have been played on a pitch with floodlights?

[imtommygunn]

Tough way to lose. Great service it has to be said. All free.

Creggan portglenone again now?

[Kidder81]

Great winning penalty

[Milltown Row2]

That was a rollercoaster... we'd chances to win and Portglenone had chances to win it...

penalties unfortunately are in and that is known well before, so teams will have prepared.!

Our old guard are a fantastic bunch, and a great bunch of lads, we need to be rebuilding for the future now as I'm sure some lads will definitely hang up the boots!

[gallsman]

Congratulations to Portglenone. Just about deserved to win having tried their best to throw it away a couple of times.

Entertaining game in the end, albeit quite low quality. Aidso coming up big at the end and dragging St. Gall's behind him showed just how much quality they have to replace. Can't speak for any of the lads as I'm away so long and have no idea what they'd be thinking but it'll surely be the last hurrah for three or four of them. Even if they'd won that, suspect they'd be in for a spanking in the next game. Don't think there's a championship left in the team so probably best to turn it over, even if that means some time in the doldrums.

Bad way to lose....poor that it was in the dark too...how does  a County facility have no floodlights?

Bad missed free to kill it cost Galls...unlucky

Thought ref v v v sore on Galls all game

Galls old stagers still their best ans they played fantastic, eye pleasing stuff. If Aidso rolled that one in at end of normal time  it was game over. Niblock and Terry were immense

Hagan for PG1 a dnagerous leftie

Great nights entertainment...hard for anyone to lose that

[Sportacus]

Bizarre watching some of the best players we've ever produced possibly end their careers in a penalty shoot out in the dark.

Only in Antrim.

[Milltown Row2]

They have penalties in other counties too.

Rossa put the reserves out tonight to concentrate on the Dunloy game?
