Antrim Football Thread

The Peter Healy playing for Ballyboden - it's not the former Antrim player is it?

Living in Dublin for the past decade, he transferred from St Enda's Glengormley to St Enda's Ballyboden.

Thanks DK.

Hopefully a phone call to Peter will he high on Mark Dorans agenda...proper baller!

To top off a memorable weekend Portglenone girls beat Loughgiel.

At least three households will have sisters with camogie and ladies football medals and brothers with football at grade A under 16 and minor!

Definitely a first I'd say!

Big result for Portglenone in the camogie. They beat the favs Cushendall to get to the final so they seem to have a good squad of players.

Most of the team won the Feile A Camogie also.

It's good to see for the game that it's not the same teams winning at underage over and over again.

St endas, yes

And to top off it all off...yesterday Casements hosted the annual Paul McKeever under 11.5 tournament. Big clubs from all over the province were amongst the 22 clubs taking part. And the winners, defeating Coalisland after extra time in the final, were....

If Carlsberg did weekends!

Think there will be some battles between Pg1 and Cushendall over the next few years in camogie. Was at that Feile final as a lot of our gaelic team play for Cushendall. Cant remember the wee girls name but she was midfield and in both halves set the tone with brilliant scores right from the throw in.

Congratulations Bannside. Hard work pays off.  St Paul's have been putting in a shift at underage too.
Tricky time now keeping that team ticking over for the St Paul's Tournament. Dromintee, Dungiven, Ardboe to name a few, it'll be some test.

With the johnies in the senior hurling final today, minor b hurling  and minor b football finals and an u21 preliminary football championship game all the be played in the next sevens days, how will the county board square that circle?

It's good to see for underage camogie but they will struggle to make roads at senior level as they are a long way off that atm.

Even for Cdall having all those good underage players from Cdun etc who play for them doesn't just create a good senior team.

Dunloy and Lgiel will be knocking lumps out of each other for some time to come for that title.

Tbf i did mean in the juveniles. I do think Cushendall will continue to get closer to those big two at senior but theyre still a bit young.

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

For sure.

Cushendall have some talented players who are around 17-20 age in their senior team.

Dunloy's average age would be about 24 for their starting team with Lgiels a bit higher.

There's a lot of work to be done for them to get up to that.

But yes, for sure it's good to see a change at underage on the trophies.

He's been on the panel throughout his senior career basically just had a bad time with injuries. To my knowledge he was still on the panel this year but again injuries where lengthy

Very good footballer, gentleman too, missed around these parts

Is Dunloy v Newbridge and Moneyglass V Glenullin a double header next week?

Owenbeg would have suited and probably would have headed up if it was a Sunday 2pm job, not sure now

Be interesting to see how Dunloy adapt, plenty of Derry knowledge in their camp so ya never know, Newbridge probably won't allow too much space for the Elliots, Molloy and Cunning to get on the ball
