I was at the match. One of the worst brawls I have seen a few casements men should be ashamed of there actions. There could have been some supporters seriously hurt if it wasn't for a couple of calm heads- it was a good hard hitting game until the end when both teams lost their discipline
As for Antrim we play Offaly a must win game in what has been a bitterly disappointing season

Thoughts?

Any insights into team selection for Down on Saturday? Will Lenny switch up the system a bit to counter Downs danger men? Its a pity CJ is off the panel. Feel we might be found wanting for scores in the closing stages.

I would expect big Ricky J to pick up Connaire Harrison, probably niall delargy on Donal O'Hare. Paddy Gallagher isn't capable of marking a player like Harrison.
Will we try and mark Mooney or will we make mooney mark ? he's key to everything going forward I think a player like paddy McBride would be perfect he's able to going both ways, it will be interesting to see what lenny does but if we win the 2/3 key personal battles we are in with a chance of causing an upset.
Not to worried about CJ hes great from frees but with the shape hes in he wont offer much from play against a team like down. I see McKeever is due to start

is the pulling of a faceguard a yellow or red card offence? I have noticed this year in club games it has been given as a yellow card offence however in intercounty games in previous years it has been a straight red

Disappointed to have lost to Dunloy. Thought we were the better team for much of the game. You'd have to question the free count. Dunloy got 14 scorable frees, we got 5. We gave away 3 points from short passing errors and Dunloy had 4 frees moved forward 10 yards and scored them all. Never the less pleased with the display of a lot of our players. Dunloy now very much favorites for the championship having beaten ourselves and loughgiel.

I see dunloy didn't start woody and nigel ? with the dal as good as full out

Don't feel Carson is fit for a full game better coming in off the bench. Good to see McNaughton starting brilliant player however Gérard Walsh should be starting imo one of the best in the county, that half forward line is scary if it gets time to hurl

Clarke would be a great addition for the weekend with Armstrong unable to play, think molloy is to light yet however his speed could cause problems, is chris oc joining up with the squad again ?

After seeing Fridays results there has been a few surprises good to see kickams going up into the city and taking two points off st johns not often that happens, as bad of form cargin have been in and players missing I still think they would have got a result from the st galls game, I think ahoghills relegation is inevitable this season sad to see as for such a small club done so well for years. Four red cards in the St endas casements game I hear however st endas have started to show real character the past few weeks after a few hard luck results they have got two good results on the trot and a young team gaining momentum is a great combination - a two weeks break now as the saffs prepare to spring a surprise upon the men from the county down 

just having a look at tonight's ACL DIV 1 Games
st johns v kickams = st johns
Cargin v st Galls = Cargin
Rossa v LD = Rossa
Ag v st T's = AG
Glenavy v ahoghill = Glenavy
St endas v Casements = St endas
All very competitive games tonight that will go down to the last kick of the ball. Watched st endas beat cargin at the weekend cargin down a few however st endas were flying big russ has them going well
