Not for me. I'd consider them or Dunloy beating the Derry champions to be a massive shock so if they lose you can't be saying its a failure.

Have to be favourites after the weekend now big ball small ball they can do it all apparently

Assume you're a Cargin man? They won't be beat in Antrim, game will follow a similar pattern to the final a couple of years ago, Cargin will prevail with a bit to spare.

Their focus should really be on progressing somewhat in Ulster but its hard to see them getting past the first round again in that competition.
And (IF) they do win Antrim but then failed to get past the Derry champions away in Celtic Park in the first round Ulster would that be deemed a failure of a season?

Of course not, winning the championship is still a brilliant season for anyone regardless of how many times a team has won it. But its probably getting to that stage where you'd want to see progression within the ulster series. Just because its an Antrim club, there shouldn't be any inferior complex playing away to the Derry champions. This is club football, not county football,  there should be very little between the best club teams in each county.  Derrygonnelly can reach ulster finals. St Galls have been there,  I just want to see an Antrim team make a real go again in ulster and would love to see Cargin do that.
