Indeed...a golden era of which we are most unlikely to ever see again. But it shows what can be done if you can bring 8 or 10 real quality players through in or around the same age group, all with basic skills intact from an early age. No matter what it's still the template for clubs to aspire to.

A great club side indeed but the template of how it was formed is not one to aspire to.

More kudos to the St Galls '82 team

Slightly off topic but does anyone have some good positive stories about Gaelfast?   Could we as a collective be using it better?

I'd nearly second that, but if you know your history Belfast clubs did always pick up 'outsiders' but if there is a club out there (including yours) that hasn't I'd like to know...

The success is born out of successive wins at juvenile, multiple minors/under21's proved to be the platform, tradition and looking to look beyond your championship can produce better results.

The success 'WAS' born out of successive wins at juvenile........ There I fixed it for you, history now!

I'm talking about club success, any club,  if it has that run off success will have potentially a team able to do well outside of its county championship

History has a good chance of repeating itself..

[bannside]

Cargin must have a dozen class acts aged between 16 and 20, multiple winners of silverware, college stars, high % of county panellists at under 17 and under 20. Huge panel to choose from.

Can they be the next big Antrim force in Ulster?

[EOC1923]

We just carry on striving to keep improving BS

[bannside]

Green machine impressive tonight, no doubt. No excuses from us EOC. Tomas rolled back the clock!

[erinsboy]

PG1 very disappointing tonight Bannside , I take it you had a few missing?
I think most where expecting it to be alot closer ,only league but surely there should be some signs against a very understrengthed Cargin team at this stage.

[Cnoc Bán]

Lads, the league title isn't all that.

Sure the top 2 don't care about winning it, it's an afterthought sure compared to the championship.... 

The real story is the relegation battle which is hotting up now.

Gorts v TNN match on Friday will have a big say in it.

[imtommygunn]

Big win for tnn tonight.

[EOC1923]

Is that Rasharkin relegated to Div3 or do they get a play off?
We played well BS surely! Tomas going well keeps himself in serious shape.

Rasharkin down
Glenavy in play off with St.Comgalls , end of Sept/ early Oct

[EOC1923]

With a couple of ambitious Creggan men in taking them, surely a local could of got them relegated and saved a few pounds
