its the first time they've beat us in 25 years in a senior game, i shit you not.

the bookies odds is never far away  ;)

Regarding Creggan under peforming, we were near out of existance during the earily 90's!!!
Struggled to field teams and form a committee. We had a long hard look at the club and since then have really worked hard to build it up.

we are a proud club with a good tradition, but believe it or not slim, Cargin are the benchmark for ourselves in regards to how they they run the club in the past 20 years and with all the set backs keep coming back stronger.

Obviously we don't have the same resources as the Toome men but we still aim to be contenders.

Slim, are you BSh1tting with the odds. I can see Creggan having shorter odds than Cargin or Lamb Dearg. As Cargin are a championship team and this currentl team have ley to establish themselves as championship material

I would guess that Slim is bullsh1tting with the odds alright.
They don't even have all the people in the senior championship in there anyway in his list of odds.

Mickey Moran has arguably been exposed as naive in the past on bigger stages that Antrim championships but if he or Creggan think that Sunday's result was anything other than down to cobwebs being blown off by Cargin and Creggan getting a good start on their (as said before) wee pitch then they need their head sorted.

However, its good to see it being competitive with two shock results (in my opinion) portglenone beating Lamh Dearg and Creggan beating Cargin.


Shame to see Dunloy's result v St Galls - they are better than that result. I believe they have a couple of big players not playing this year.

Are GNM in the senior championship?

I would put them as better than Portglenone or Rasharkin.

St Brigids - well they will likely be the worst team in it.

Cregann are a good wee side who have very good underage structures in place. They may claim a few scalps this season. In Antrim there are only really two good teams about. There's no reason why Creggan can't be as good as Lamh Dhearg who in my opnion are no world beaters and are very reliant on Cunningham's accuracy from placed balls and St Paul's also. By all accounts GNM could be up around the third best team too. There are a lot of average sides in senior in Antrim at present with two exceptional ones.

I presume Cargin, although losing to creggan would seem to me that EXCEPTIONAL might be a bit strong

many people see todays irish news? st pauls applauding gort na mona onto the pitch - whats that nonsense all about?

a few good u21 games on 2nite.. an verdicts? cargin V gort should be a good game and davitts V st galls. can only c both cargin and st galls comin out on top, feel they will have too much talent for them, but they will have to play for their win as gort n davitts will put it up to them.
