Did we not play down last week in this age group?

Yes, the winners (Antrim) were to go into the Leinster minor championship proper last night and the losers (Down) went into the Peadar O Liathain Cup which they won the first round of last night..

It seems we are down to play Carlow in the Peadar O Liathain semi final on Wednesday.

Did we just not think we were up to playing in the "A" competition?

Team is named for tomorrow, strong team although Niall McKenna not named is a blow, he must be injured.
Its a huge game tomorrow, hopefully the lads can get the win! C'mon Antrim!

[imtommygunn]

He's a big loss. Ciaran Johnston in midfield who hasn't played a lot. Interesting to see O'Brien in for Maskey. Huge game for us but hopefully the league form will stand us in good stead.

Get Damon off before he's sent off.

[Jonkunlon]

Antrim making poor decisions all over the park and Laois blowing us away with their shooting (15th minute).

[Jonkunlon]

Damon just been given a final warning. If Gleeson doesn't take him off it's poor game management.

[Jonkunlon]

We're a mile off it here. Passing, first touch and shooting very poor. 7 points in 29 minutes is not good enough.

[Jonkunlon]

We are getting destroyed all over the park. Laois have clocked up 20 points in the 1st half. Brutal stuff from Antrim getting blown away by a much much superior team. Can't see a 10 point turnaround in the 2nd half and struggling to pick an Antrim player who can be proud of his performance.

[imtommygunn]

This is really disappointing 

[clootfromthe21]

This is just grim.

[Jonkunlon]

Grim, disappointing......and all the other words beside them in a thesaurus. Think the league has possibly given us false hope. Last few performances have been awful. We're so far off the pace  - chasing shadows.

[Saffrongael]

Really poor performance

[Jonkunlon]

Diabolical. That's a big step backwards going to the Joe McDonagh next season. Deservedly so on the last couple of performances. Real sickener. Laois have sucker punched us today.

Hard luck to Antrim terrible shame to go back to Joe McDonagh.A real sucker punch after league exploits. Laois seemed to turn up at the right time after a poor year!
