Probably will be   , even though you'd get twice the crowd in North Antrim and better venues.

Ballymena is right in the middle

19 miles to ballymena from Cushendall, now unless Corrigan has moved recently then it’s not the middle

Where in Belfast? Lamh Dhearg?  Creggan worth a shout maybe?

Sarsfields have a stand! Parking probably a big problem but the Westies could bus it! Creggan is a great shout in fairness, I’m sure though that the Johnnies will put an argument for a Belfast venue as the final will be in Ballycastle

Parking is a disaster in the Bear Pit. Could be a double header in Ballycastle.

Sad news from Randalstown about Darryl Heatley, an absolute gent, I’m sure some of you would have known him from playing against him.

RIP

Absolutely unreal. Many a drink and chat I had with him.

RIP Pal..

Stick a knife in every ball in the county. Forgot Derry football. Disgraceful, I tell you what I’m finished with them after that.

Dembele just put out a very cryptic tweet.. We’ll do well to hold on to him.

Yep i think Cdall can count themselves unlucky - 3 or 4 few wides in the last 10minutes; Sweeper made it difficult for Dunloy to get scores and McManus still to come back in - Dalls to lose for me.

Graffin also to comeback along Sean McAfee & Eoin Gillan.

C’Dall V Dunloy was a decent enough game. I think C’Dall will be the happy with their performance with the lads they are missing. Good to see Christy stripped out again.

Does anyone think Antrim have asked the Ulster council or Croke for funding to upgrade a club ground as a temporary county home? I very much doubt it

Was there not an artical about Collie Donnelly doing that with Corrigan?

How long ago was that? as time passes the need is becoming more and more urgent

I cant remember tbh. I remember the discussion on here about it.

Can someone confirm or correct me on the following? Senior championship,regardless of whether you finish 1st in the group you could still be drawn against the 1st placed team in the other group?

As far as I know its an open draw after the group stages. So Cushendall could play Dunloy again in the semi if they qualify.

If someone is serious about reopening casement with limited opening terrace sections then it needs a full survey, health and safety review, clean and, which is the longest part, a brand new pitch laid, grew and maintained. a Quick once over with the mower isn't going to do it.

Feasibility isn't the word here - Antrim board realise its cheaper to have casement closed and use clubs grounds than it is to maintain and insure a stadium the size of casement.

Like it or loathe it, they'd be better picking a club ground to put money into to get up to a realistic capacity (it would be clubs responsibility to look after it), or put their money into a stand at Dunsilly. Poor attendances at antrim's poor county products means poor revenues

Agree, Tir Na og or Creggan. Central venue. Even St Endas.

Why not two? one up the Glens for the hurlers and one in Belfast/SW for the footballing crowd?

If 2 suits then 2 it is.
