Cargin & St Galls combo over the last 15 years.

1. Paddy Murray

2. Kevin O'Boyle
3. Andy McLean
4. Colin Brady

5. Tony Scullion
6. Sean Kelly
7. Justin Crozier

8. Sean Burke
9. Mick McCann

10. Kevin McGourty
11. Kieran McGourty
12. Tomàs McCann

13. CJ McGourty
14. Kieran Close
15. Sean Burns.

Can't see many arguments there
Only 2 cargin forwards so maybe some discussion
Maybe they're too young yet

[paddyjohn]

I have an argument or 2. Niblock makes the team.
Seanie Burns & Paddy Murray in a team of the last 15 years?

My bad, overlooked Niblock.

Ok. Edit to 20 years.

[paddyjohn]

Sean Burke's inclusion over Aidso Gallagher is questionable also.

Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one. 🤷‍♂️

[geezer]

Niblock definitely in, would have Gallagher as well.

Both clubs have produced some class forwards but Shivers will be take someones spot on there with another 3/4 seasons under his belt. Outrageous talent.

[bannside]

Plus one Geezer.

[BrendanAntrim]

Niblock first name on forward list for me. Also James Laverty worthy of inclusion?

[geezer]

Plus one Geezer.

McEntee be rubbing his hands together watching some of the scores he was swinging over on Sunday.

[Gold]

Terry o'Neill a cert too

[EOC1923]

Pat Shivers and big Ruari McCann together, some handful for any defence in division 3!

Close very good but not sure I would have him in there so possibly two might be too many!

Shivers on current trajectory could end up better than any of them mind you.

I read in the IN the county board rejected a request from aghagallon to push back the promotion/relegation play off scheduled for tomorrow. So much for player welfare.

Jesus, the game was Sunday, during the year the games can be played Sunday Wed and probably a training session thrown in also, this fixture has been know for a while and both teams know that this was a great chance to either go up or stay up..

The play off is to help St Mary's to stay up, if it had not have been in place they would have been relegated already. Ballymena have been waiting and training to get a shot at Div 1 any other year they would have been up as a top 2 team

Looking forward to the game, be interesting to see how a team gets itself back off the floor and put in a performance again

Was surprised myself to see the County in such a rush to play this game off on a Friday night. Aghagallon threw the sink physically and mentally at Sunday.  What difference would a week have made.  Another example of fixture committee not thinking through the wider context.  Have seen several examples on here from the Cargin men in recent weeks. 

[Spike]

must also be a strange situation for ballymena.  kicking their heels for weeks now and the season felt like it was over.    interesting to see if they have been putting in productive training or just going through the motions.  Sunday will tell us whether they are a genuine Div 1 team or not.    Can Moneyglass and Ballymena survive in Div 1 at the moment?     

[bannside]

Imo Kieran Close easily best no 13 in Antrim football for last 20 years. Class act, great left foot, unselfish (total team player) kept himself match fit throughout two decades. Simply has to be on that list.
