Right less of the slabbering boys. Worse than aul women. Which of the Downeys were playing last night!

The 3 that arent on the county (derry) panel. Odhran enda and i forget the other ones name.
Putting the result aside st brigids look good. portglenone were just more physical and looked more finesse. but brigids should be a good outfit with their county/counties men back. And then they'd to be with the amount of airtime they are getting in this thread!

They'll be hard to stop come championship time

Full forward was Matthew I believe. Agree, St Brigids at full strength will be a handful for anyone.

Me neither on either social media site and nothing saying it was off. Would assume the result would be up by now if it had been played.

Bit of chat around league restructure, div 1 10 teams, that would change a lot I think, a fair margin for error and also experiment at the current time in a 13 team league, bring it down to 10 would change a lot of managers outlooks

Div.1 and Div.2 should be 10 teams each. 13 far too many. Covid was the excuse for the uneven number and no relegation in 20 and 21.
Get back to 10 teams and see much more competitive divisions with every game a fight to stay up.

Lavey remain favs for Antrim SFC with bookies. The Downeys have transformed St.Brigids already and only half of them have played so far.
Still can't quite believe Seamus and Henry let this happen.

I think with the way we are with so many dual clubs and so many games to fit in without county players the 12 team division is dead on. Teams pick up points before the split then when the split comes with full panels you give teams a better chance to stay up and aren't being hampered too much without county players.

If we go to 10 teams there's less room for error and the teams fighting to stay up will be far less likely to want to play without their county players and rightly so.

I wouldn't be so quick to underestimate them come Championship. I believe they have been performing well below their potential for a number of years. They have a few boys (example: the Finnegan twins) who seemed to raised their game too. Add a handful of quality players drafted in from Lavey to strengthen the line-up and they need to be taken seriously.

Having said that, it remains to be seen the impact drafting in a bunch of outsiders will have.
