Absolute dead rubber EOC, was played like a challenge. One gets LD, the other gets PG1, probably not worth going to war about.

The serious stuff starts now we are at the knock out stages.

Hopefully they let us host your game, surely the prefect venue for it

Creggan v Pg1 -cargin/ahoghill
Cargin v st marys- dunsilly/hannhstown
LD v dunloy - dunsilly
Rossa v lavey- corrigan

They are the sensible venues. No doubt st endas will be the venue for at least 1 of them....for some reasosn

What happened to Glenavy, whys it not used nomore? Brilliant venue.

Was going into Hannahstown one day, a while back and big Fitzy asked me, how are your boys fixed today..?
"We have 4 out, I replied...."

Turning to Shanty Fitzy said, "Points are in the bag today, they have only 11 players".

If a team is potential senior champions a suitably strong panel must match ambition.

Cargin started v the Johnnies without Mick (who is chomping at the bit), Jamie G, and J Carron....and nobody noticed.

Yous have some panel alright. In saying that, johnnies are a shell of what they used to be so i dont think anyone would notice if yous had another few big hitters on the bench too. Result would stay the same.

Theres only 3 clubs in the county, maybe 4 at a push, who could give Cargin a game.

Reading SG report on pg1 ahoghill. No sign of McAleese. When is he due back Bannside? He has no luck with injuries at all.

Yes, but only if St Endas don't win at Hannahstown. I can't see that happening tbh. Portglenone need a performance to get their championship started, hopefully that's today. Still missing a few (injuries and suspension) but you've got to live with that!

As I said earlier in the week,we'll beat that shower in Hannahstown by 6/7,and that'll be enough to get us into last 8

Why so confident? LD the much better side IMO.

St Endas wont beat LD.

1/4 final predictions:

Creggan v PG1
LD v Dunloy
Cargin v Aghagallon
St Brides v Rossa

Anyone aware if its tickets again for this year's championship?

Also, is Jerome Quinn on board again to stream games?

PG1 win league tonight if they win?

Great performance today. Stood toe to toe with Meath & were the better
team for large portions of the game. Marc jordan was brilliant throughout. His running game is hard to stop. Thought decky lynch was excellent as well, massive game from him. And in fairness, all the lads played really well. Could have probably used mccann more as he was causing trouble with any ball coming into him. Loughran is a danger anytime he touches the ball. Thought the 2 cargin lads done really well too considering there age.

Thought we were a bit wiped out in midfield at times (hopefully bannside has a word with mckeever and delargy to get them on board next year)

In fairness to meath, they have some deadly shooters. Morris is a class act.

Ryan murray was a big miss, would have definitely made a difference.

But all in all a very positive performance from antrim. Played some really good football. Kick on for next year and no reason why we cant get upto div 2.

Great win today. Its been a positive season however further the team goes. Hopefully can get the likes of mckeever, delargy, johnston brothers etc to buy into it next year and really kick on with the strongest squad possible.

See Lavey had county men playing...again.

Is it 2 straight down from div 1? Or play off?

Going by SG report, the players Cargin were missing: mick, tomas, paul, gerard mccann, kobo, jamie gribbin, close, conor johnston, eunan quinn, sean oneill, benen kelly, cahir donnelly.

Maybe a few more ive missed. Unreal strength in depth.

The older Cargin men still have some life in them. Kobo looked like a 21 year old in last years final.

Doesnt matter how many Cargin have missing. Their depth of squad is unreal. Best squad in the county by a distance.

Great win away to Wexford no ifs or buts about it. Wouldn't be fearing Fermanagh either.
In other news locally we have a referee who can't admit mistakes when keeping the score and despite everyone else in the ground thinking one thing he went with his own score. Draw when clearly was a Cargin win you couldn't make it up.

Sure it's only the league EOC, Cargin dont care about that...
