And it's normally the Belfast teams that win these titles, worrying

St Endas are a NA team

[Milltown Row2]

St Endas are a NA team

North Belfast ffs

Our kids play in the north  Antrim leagues, that makes us NA?

[Sleeping giant]

I get what NAG is saying.  League for playing championship for winning sort of thing.  The league use to mean alot more.  In fairness we try to take everything serious just didn't always work out that way.

From what I can see they're nearly all young(ish) players. The only older boy I could see in the programme at the weekend for them was Rory McQuillan. The rest wouldn't have been from the St Pats crop. (It was st pats wasn't it?) of Laverty's, McSparran's, Mort's, O'Hara's etc

going back there imtommygunn

st pats did bring a competitive edge to competitions back in the day

one of the few teams to amalgamate and do well

see st brendans are playing in final of second division championship

many lads would have said st pats had a senior team for a few years, however they were named Cushendun back then,
was there most successful spell in a while

Fair bit of pressure being put Loughgiel now, (well on here anyways) and they should be good for it seeing they are going for 3 in a row and on the back of being All Ireland champions.

They play the Dall on Sunday, skeleton team out no doubt and chance for squad players to prepare (should they be required) for a run out against Dunloy.

As for Dunloy, by all accounts they had a bit of zip about them last week and have managed to find that hand passing game they perfected back in the day, finding space and creating scores from it. Was brilliant to watch but was shite to play against, was like chasing shadows ffs.

Final should be a lot closer and I might take Dunloy at the handicap.

I've said it before we need to link the leagues to championship, check back and you'll see were it falls down, we only have 5 senior teams from Antrim in it, you can't have a league linked championship with 5 teams in it, simple. Galway have it and it involves relagation also, Dublin and Cork and couple other counties run their championships off like that. But sure why would it work for us, eh.........

It'll be the juniors running out on Sunday against the Dall by the look of it, if it goes ahead of course.

Cushendall vs Loughgiel has been postponed.

[btdtgtt]

Official reason SIE?

[Seamroga in exile]

Probably because of the county final the weekend after. The county called it off.

[Milltown Row2]

Official reason SIE?

They wanted to watch the bogball final!! Up Donegal!!

is there a bog ball match on somewhere then? 

[btdtgtt]

Great to see u glens men are aware of the big ball!
We can wait to see u all play as dual clubs!

If that's the official reason however it might raise eyebrows and tempers elsewhere!
Not every fixture gets such leeway!

[Seamroga in exile]

You'll be waiting a while.
