Down with drew from the 1/4 of UMFC, conceded game, never seen that happen before.

Pretty sure one team got eliminated after the round robin games and it was them.

You are probably right, couldn't believe they would do that

Good win. Leitrim beat us well last year. Interesting draw for Fermanagh.

One team gets eliminated in the minors.

Really decent result today AL had a brilliant game by all accounts by the radio commentators

[bannside]

Superb performances all over the pitch today, we looked great at times, the recent challenges against Dublin Donegal and Tyrone (where we were competitive) standing us in great stead. Harder tests await, but its good to get that banana skin out if the way, especially after last years debacle.

Adam Loughran MOM with memorable individual display, Jordan, Finnegan twins Dermot McAlesse  Peter Healy all superb too.

Great result, after a disaster down in Leitrim last year. Should be in a position to give the Tailteann Cup a real rattle.

This time last year the dressing room was a proper shambles, tail trying to wag the dog  and all that. Tough choices needed to be made, and not all agreed. But today that was fully vindicated, maybe we won't win the Tailteean Cup (maybe we will) but today we saw a team in Saffron that looked fit, organised and most of all, united.

One swallow dosent make a summer, with things still in transitional mode and the average age of the panel vastly reduced from this time 12 months ago we need to get behind Andy as he works to build a squad from bottom up.

Why the constant digs at the previous manager. A good win today surely just don't know why you're looking backwards.

Simple question to answer EOC. If Antrim hadn't won today there would have been a fair few queuing up to say we are no better off. But now most will agree (concede even) that we are. A 19 point turnaround in a year is not too shabby.

Enjoy the occasion, the pride that took a hammering this time last year has been restored.

Now we can move on....

We were also competitive apparently in challenge games with Dublin & Tyrone

A good win, we have rightly took it seriously this year as this is Antrims level.Disappointed we had no representation on the starting team to be honest. I'd say the men we have there maybe won't be there much longer.

Ach wise up.  Of course it's worthy of praise and celebration. I knew somebody would say it's only Leitrim. Can't win.

Who would you have started and where?

[EOC1923]

Pat shivers corner forward, and although Sean O Neil injured and unavailable obviously isn't rated at all by McEntee or McCrudden.
Just seen the highlights great to see Adam Loughran showing what a great player he is.
