away to Wexford next!! we'll be playing in the Nicky Rackard cup soon

Dinny said the other day he is happy with how the league is going so there is nothing to worry about........

Offaly are light years ahead, I fear a bad beating

Good if unexpected win for down. Thats us safe with westmeath at home to finish. Who did all our scoring?

No word of a match even taking place on the Antrim site, they don't like bad news stories there. According to the BBC Kevin McGarry & James Doyle got the Down goals.

Unexpected? Down have been running Antrim closer and closer over the last few games and I wouldn't think I'm the only one who saw this coming.

Down have been doing ok in the league. While getting beat they're putting in good performances.

Antrim have been getting worse every game.  Getting beat by westmeath and down not good - hopefully we won't get sucked into a relegation battle.

I certainly wouldn't see this result as unexpected.

truth be know i took Down plus 6 in my bet at the weekend, (Galway beating me :() Antrim missing  a fair few players and have not got a settled team.

didn't think we'd lose but expected it to be tight. we cant be relegated imtommygunn, results against the other teams and points scored.

Shocking though that Down will finish above us considering the teams that they pick from (numbers Johnny ;)) Can we turn it around before Championship? don't know at this stage. Dinny may ask for more sessions that may hurt the leagues. will wait and see

Down have been their dogged selves in the league and both Laois and Carlow should have won by more and were clearly the better teams. I can't condemn the Down lads for trying as they certainly do, but they're currently playing with 2 decent forwards in Magic and Woods, with Dule being injured, Andy Savage at midfield who's been very good of recent and a fairly leaky defence lacking a bit of discipline at times.

I'd suggest the result speaks more for Antrims state than any great upturn in Downs fortunes.

Not to want to take away from Down's victory but I'd have thought the same Johnney.

Disappointing. Maybe it's being saved for the c'ship...

From what I understand dinny has asked a couple of players he removed or have walked of the panel to return. the two I have heard off are forwards. Has he realised that he hasn't a strong enough team
