Only one previous championship meeting between the sides, back in 2004, when Louth won after extra time. The date and time for this game won't be decided until after the draw for the hurling qualifiers is made.
Despite the recent loss to Wexford, Louth have to be strong favourites for this game, though I'd prefer it to be played anywhere other than Drawda.

Should grind out a 3 point win, if we play as bad as we did last time, if we throw caution to the wind we could lose by 6 and that will make most Antrim men happy ;)
Why is 1 Antrim Road playing Louth? I suppose it is a fair enough match.
Good luck to Andy McDonnell, you can't blame him for going over to the States, he's not the first and he certainly won't be the last.

Did you not beat us in the 1912 All Ireland Final?

We did indeed. I should have said only one previous championship meeting in living memory.
Have to go with Louth on this one after a devastating display putting away Laois like they were a minor team. To me Antrim, given the league form they have had, will find it hard to cope with the Louth forwards...hopefully im wrong and we see this one go down to the wire

We choose to play against the wind that day (1912) after winning the toss. Wind totally changed round at half time. Typical!
Ref absolutely rode us too.
Titanic's sinking earlier that Spring was playing on alot of our boy's minds too.
Stand-in free taker had an off day.
Usual free-Taker got dropped as he wanted to go to a month's mind and then head on down by horse and cart.
A win win situation for Gerry.
Louth should have too much for Antrim but hope springs eternal. Do many of the St Gall team play with Antrim?

Galway when they're not great don't travel too well either.

Derry, even when they are going well you could fit all their supporters on a mini bus.

Louth down to 14, keeper Neil Gallagher sent off, straight red, no one seems to know why. In to added time 3 mins
FT Louth 1-17 Antrim 1-10 PK with the last score of the game.
There is always next year. Wouldn't want Tyrone, but I don't think we could beat any of the remaining teams.

Even Louth should be aiming to beat Waterford.
