SW clubs had a clean sweep in Antrim football but a very poor return for Ulster games. 1 Victory from 4 games is.... Disappointing is not a strong enough word IMO

So in ulster club it's
SW - 1
Belfast - 0

Still a victory for the SW, unless my maths is wrong
HH, maths are correct. It's not a  city country thing for me I'm just giving an opinion. The much lauded GAA machines (near neighbours as well) from the SW disappeared all too soon from Ulster.  In the overall context of Ulster club games Belfast have a far healthier track record if my sums and historical knowledge are accurate

geezer

Creggan give a very good account of themselves at senior level, were the better team in the 60 mins and just ran out of legs in ET.

TNN extremy unlucky not to be in an ulster final, narrowly falling short against the favourites.

Comgalls came up against a team that many believe shouldnt have been competing at junior level.

All is not doom and gloom in the SW.

I would say the St Galls Ulster Select team isnt a worthwhile comparable.  This year was possibly Antrim's best chance with Ramor United and Clann Eireann the weakest teams seen in the competition for a while.  Usually no easy games.     Maybe it says more about Antrim's club level - more competitive but lesser quality?

If you want to help them for next year make your own teams better, make the Antrim Championship more competitive

Spike, any clubs you are involved with have any outside players or managers at all?

Can there be a Bosman rule brought in to stop these Belfast clubs mixing and matching with players from all over Ireland. Disgrace!

Bosman rule at county level too? I hear McGeeneys 90 strong panel for Armagh includes Aghagallon talent. Is that allowed?

*** Disclaimer im a SW man ***

Think its time to stop the bitterness towards galls. Thats all it is. City clubs are always going to benefit from outsiders, thats just the way it is. You think Kilmacud, Vincents etc care if they win with own club men? Look at finbarrs, Liatroim man starring for them this year, do they care? Doubtful.

Look at Brids back in the day, players from all over the shop, never hear them getting abuse on here.

Just appreciate st galls for what they were, done antrim club football proud.

Its easy to pick on st galls but all belfast clubs are at it, all you have to do is look at donal mckernan going from sarsfields to johnnies in the hurling.

St galls arent the only city club at it. Mick magill was some weapon for cargin over the years....whats his original club?

Time to let it go lads, its getting boring.
