Brewing nicely

Arrogance can be confused with a confidence that comes from winning 5 in 6 years...

It is a tense time in the run up to a SFC final. I had a dream during the week that Portglenone win 4-10 to 3-8. Which means the younger skilful players will overcome the experienced crafty ones.
Hope you have a good final and the debate after is about the quality of the football on show with the referee, venue and streaming avoiding complaint. 

I think Martin Luther King said it better

Score line like that, did they get the two teams to play hurling instead?

You are right Spike, also if my dreams came true I wouldn't be contributing (nonsense) to the GAA Board on a Friday afternoon.

Good luck to both teams on Sunday, and the ref. Whatever happens, you'll be talking about it for years. Personally it would be nice to see a new name on the trophy, but that's no disrespect to Cargin, good team and you can only admire the way their players have come back for more year after year (although I'm sure it's a bit easier when you are winning!).

Best of luck tomorrow to my former charge here in Barcelona, Eoin Connolly who's back home the last year or so with St. Teresa's.

Championship finals weekend has arrived!

Should be decent games today in the Junior and Intermediate Finals.

As I've said previously I fancy Antrim and Ballymena to win today.

Antrim have played well this season in the league and Ballymena have had a great season finishing 3rd in Div 1, and that was with a few of their big players out also.

Hope all teams have everyone fit and ready to go today.. then roll on Ulster for the winners in a few weeks time!

Tomorrow's senior final I just can't see anything else but a Cargin win. Would be great to see Portglenone win but time will tell!!

Great weekend of football in store

[Hectic]

Ballymena and Antrim probably both bigger favourites than Cargin.

It would be a huge upset if neither were to win.

League reconstruction has meant Intermediate is as weak as it has been for a long time, with the exception of Ballymena, who played division 1 this year but managed to be the team to stay in Intermediate championship, despite being runners up last year.

To be fair they were taking a slight risk with their senior status for 2025 by going this route but should come through handy and then hopefully have a good solid go at Ulster.
