Superb result but have to say it was expected. I was less sure about the Fermanagh game.
Well done all involved and also learned that Antrim county board gave out free tickets to a lot of schools in the county to make sure the next generation was there. Smart initiative and a very progressive move.
Well done all!

Tbh I'd a better feeling about the fermanagh game. Dunno what i was - think it was the favourites tag. I think it's ok now though as we certainly won't be favourites in the semi final.

meath...

meath...

The hardest draw, I'd say they were all looking us but the other game is a 50/50 ... Sure give it a lash and see how we go, if we continue to open up those goal chances we could spring a surprise, but Meath could also cut us open too

Be a strange one for Andy too no doubt

[imtommygunn]

Yeah the ideal you'd have wanted would have been Laois which couldn't have happened. Tough draw as they battered wexford who put it up to us but we've improved and are hopefully much more confident etc now. Hopefully injuries hold up and we have nothing to lose here.

Bonus territory! When's the last time Antrim footballers played in Croke Park? Have many of the lads played in Croke Park before?

[imtommygunn]

Tommy Murphy cup I would say which was a good while ago and I would doubt too many of current panel have played in Croke.

Exactly we are in bonus territory.

There was a Division 4 final in Croke Park v Louth under Fitzy / Gearoid, in 2016.

Ah forgot about that. McBride and Lynch anyway at a guess would have been involved then.

Luke and Adam won a Hogan in Croke Park as well. So a good few playing their first game in Croker. Best season in years for Antrim.

Players not available for clubs again Wednesday night - some fighting relegation!  Cant be right!
But dont know what the solution is...

Dermot McAleese also featured in Croke Park that day. Hopefully is okay after yesterday's nasty eye injury that left him hospitalised and unable to see from one eye. That man has had more than his share of bad luck on the pitch.

I see all games that were fixed for Sunday have been shifted to the Saturday.. Well done

Is there any reason as to why Gort Na Mona conceded their match at the weekend

They are safe in division 2 but not safe in hurling I see
