Antrim Football Thread

[Dunsilly King]

A great result for Dunloy. A great club. Shows clearly that the dual club status works well, if managed properly. 
Helps also that you have good footballers (and hurlers). A great squad with new talent coming through every year. No doubt that they'll be at the top end in Antrim football for a few years yet.


That's another disappointing year for PG1 and their flagship team. Year after year, seems to be the same old story.

What are the issues? Have they regressed this past year or two? Have they not a 'big name' management ticket? Players just not there?

Haven't posted here for a bit but fair play to Dunloy, they were hungry, sharp and well coached. Got their shooters on the end of their moves, and compared to Portglenone had little or no wastage.

Casements looked flat for some reason, tried hard but couldn't find a way through a well drilled Dunloy defence.

No excuses from us, better team won on the night when it mattered.

Dunloy have half a dozen players would not be out of place playing at county level and will be a worthy and dangerous opponent for the winners of Cargin and Creggan. Carry a hunger that will be hard to suppress...they are no longer under the radar, they've well and truly lost that tag.

Now the focus is on who their opponents will be.

Be some sharpening of knives around the Wild Duck and Fiddlers rest this weekend.

Dunloy the better side last night. They'll cause either of the 2 Toome sides bother in the final.
