[EOC1923]

Not sure about that with the u20s, come the championship they wouldn't fear playing the likes of Derry or Tyrone. A league game away to Tyrone at u20 level is prob the hardest fixture you could get.

We get Donegal in under 20s away EOC and I would expect us to be competitive in that at least. Maybe Derry will test (or beat) Tyrone but they'll be a good team if they do.

Looks like what happened to us against down may be happening them against Fermanagh. 72nd minute goal conceded.

Maybe I wasnt the clearest there but I see our u20s being very competitive against anyone. They were still missing key players yesterday as well.

Tyrone under 20s are different gravy, they are a shoe in for Ulster and quite likely back 2 back All Irelands, so to remain reasonably competitive in Healy Park yesterday for long periods was an achievement of sorts. You can see three or four talents in the Antrim squad that will progress to senior level in the next few years, that's definitely encouraging and fair play to Niall Jackman, his backroom team and county games development officer Paddy Kelly for delivering a programme that is properly facilitating that.

Tyrone probably favourites but wouldn't agree them as a shoe in , Derry Minors won the 2020 all Ireland minor title  and should be very competitive this year

It's fairly obvious that I've neglected to take Derry into consideration...totally forgot that they win minor title 3 years ago so definitely plenty of quality there too.

Big shout out due to Terry Reilly who was elected to the highest echelons of GAA administration over the weekend. He is Ulster's representative on the GAA national Coiste Bainiste, a position never held before (to my knowledge) by an Antrim administrator. Worthy recognition for a man who has served diligently and with commendation often under the radar. Congratulations Terry.

Could well have been 3/3 for us but for bad luck
Andy has the lads going well the Fermanagh game now is crucial not only for the league but for this teams development.

This board is worse than the cryptic crossword in the IN, ffs if you've got something to say get on with it

[bannside]

My thoughts exactly Saffs....open to correction at all times lol!

Brendan the announcer before the game called out Ronan Boyles name at full back, but it was Eoghan McCabe who lined out, so that's what led to the radio commentator getting  his lines crossed. McCabe had a fine game to be fair.

Funny, how it seems there is a lot more on here wanting to talk after a defeat than after a win

Been saying it for years, we are a bunch of moaning c+#ts

[haranguerer]

Assume the stand at Corrigan is West Terrace?

[imtommygunn]

I think stand sold out for saturday? There's west terrace 1 and 2 which I assume are just terracing either side of stand?

MR takes one to know one 

Great win on saturday which gives us a bit of hope. Tough enough run of games now with Fermanagh, Cavan and Westmeath to come plus then Longford which is the must win game but if we can get some points from the other games that'd be great. I can't see us getting anything of Cavan but I have a funny feeling we might get something from the other two games (not maximum points lol).

[haranguerer]

Mebbe thats it. Options are West Terrace 1, 2, or East Terrace just
