Not too many happy memories heading up to the big smoke

Your right mill town my memories of goin to watch us play in Belfast is goin up on the supporters bus singing and comin home cryin but them days are long gone

Yeah for now its seems you lot are doing the right thing, and fair play, many a club would crumble under those defeats over the years and now you are competing at a higher level than the rest...

Hopefully we can renew championship final battles by winning on the 5th, but thats not a easy one for us, seen Lamhs a couple times this year and they have some good players, hopefully our lads can win and with a bit of style to

Shuttle bus to and from the Dunsilly pitch on Sunday 2nd October.

The carpark at Dunsilly will be used for players and officials only and there should be NO parking on the road around Dunsilly.

Buses will run from the old Enkalon car park, it can be accessed from Junction one retail park or from the Randalstown Road entrance to Enkalon industrial estate.


The car park is across from Shrubs and Tubs garden centre.
The buses will be available from 10am in the morning until the games finish.

Unfortunately there will have to be some sort of charge for this.  £1 ahead return for adults and free for U16's.



Only in Antrim...

Hi folks, just wanted to take the opportunity to publicise a fundraiser that our club has initiated to raise money for a great cause and have plenty of craic with at the same time. The donations raised go to AWARE, Pieta House and a fund for our desperately needed 2nd pitch (we have one pitch for 4 codes at all age levels). All the details for taking part can be seen at the link below to the thread on the main discussion section.

A fair few Antrim lads and ladies have already provided us with a few good yarns.

No you just could not make this up.................

Asking Cargin and St John's folk to take in under-16 finals on the same day their respective senior sides are involved in a senior championship semi final is head scratching decision when the juvenile finals could have been scheduled for a Saturday.
Then to acknowledge the venue chosen does not accommodate parking and ask those travelling to park a couple of miles from the ground and take a bus is farcical in the extreme.............
Take a bow those who made such absolutely stupid decisions........................and as PJ says....'Only in Antrim'

So how are St Johns in it?

The whole set up on Sunday is shambolic. Have they made provisions for families that have small children that will have a pram on the Venga bus? I wouldn't be happy putting my 6month old on a bus.
Surely a double header with the SFC semi would of been the solution?

Our fixture makers have gotten in spot on most of the year but not this time.

Under 16 final wouldn't generate more than 200 people ffs!! If you're lucky! So playing it at Dunsilly is not a biggy in my view

Maybe not but still asking people to pay into it and then into a SFC semi final? Laughable.
