TNN have beaten the 3 worst teams in the league, Drew with a struggling Lamh Dearg and got hammered by All Saints and Brigids before they pipped Galls last night. Lets just say the money they are forking on Jackman, i thought they would have shown more signs of Progression. Though will still stay up as Moneyglass, Glenravel, Aldergrove and Endas are awful at the moment

Clooney's aging team are starting to show a few too many miles on the clock, but you have to respect them as a small rural parish who have probably maximised their potential from the resources available to them for the last decade. That's more than most clubs can say!

I think you see that with some rural clubs. Certain families get quite large at the same time etc. Graham's and O'Connell's seem a sizable contingent of their teams.

Let's just say their progress has been noted! Two of our best performers in last years narrow under 20 defeat to Donegal on penalties in Ballybofey..
Add Cahir Donnelly and Johnny Hannon to the promising U20 players above, both v impressive in Cargin v Aghagallon game last night. Not a dig, but Aghagallon quite negative throughout which made Johnnys coring performance all the more impressive.






With the team they had out It's difficult to 'open' up against such a talented Cargin team away from home?
Yes, that is why I said not a dig

Legs are well and truely on the way out at 35+ which a good few Ahoghill lads are but fair play. And plenty of youth about too

I will judge what progression Jackman has made once the 4 or 5 starters from the panel are back available.

He is doing a good job with what he has at the minute and we've had some good results despite those players missing.

And it won't be a judgement based on whatever made up number you have in your head for what he is being paid.

very good. Yes lets judge at the end of the season, though with previous records club and county i hope expectations arent too high

League title will be between The Enda Lynn inspired bannsiders,cargin the Bt9ers and kickhams barring something very strange over course of the next few weeks.

It's just really a procession at this stage.  If Cargin went all out, they win the league.  They will cruise to another championship this year.  There is nobody stopping them.  We are watching Man City like dominance and its hard to know where it will end.

When they get to Ulster?

Only joking  ;D
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I dont know if Cargin have ever really cruised to a championship.

Since 20218:
Beat Creggan by a point (and well say no more about that game)
Beat Lamh Dearg by 2 (after a replay)
Beat Greggan by 3
Didn't get to final
Beat Aghagallon by 3
And then last year beat an overachieving Dunloy team by 5

Looking form the outside it would appear that they are there for the taking!
If you want to see actually cruising/dominance look at the Derry Senior Championships (either code)  :-\

The scary thing is this is Cargin in transition and yet they are still a step ahead of the rest. The aul boys are being slowly phased out with quality young players already adding their value.

It's certainly not impossible that the likes of Creggan, St Bridget's or PG1 could beat Cargin on a good day, but I suspect anyone waiting on Cargin's dominance coming o an end will be waiting a long time.

imtommygunn

They are getting better though and I am not sure other teams are. I think you are over estimating St Brigids Caesar as I don't think they are in that group yet. (yes they're going ok in the league but very early stages for that).

Creggan 2+ years ago were the team that could challenge them but seem to have dropped off. If they can get back to their previous level then maybe they can challenge them. Jury still out for PG1 in championship (no offense BS!) too. LD not quite as good now either. They really should have beat them in Corrigan that time but Finucane basically have Cargin 2 goals. Honestly find it hard to see them being beat for a few years with the current lie of things.

I doubt theres many more teams in the county as "deplated" as cargin are at the moment...
