Just in from the game in Toome.

Cargin were brilliant at times. They isolated Mick McCann well in the full-forward line and weren't shy about kicking it in early. Thought McCann at 6 was outstanding.

Brigids were really disappointing. Looked like a team of individuals at times. Some of their decision making was awful, particularly their insistence on forcing 2 point shots that were never really on.
Cargin look hungry, but I'd still see holes there that other teams can pick at, which will give the rest plenty of hope.

Only followed the cargin game on twitter but they looked always ahead. Massive wins for dunloy and aghagallon and st galls won as expected. I had thought rossa maybe stronger than that. Sarsfields have done well to get where they are but probably the victim of a larger championship and big gaps between some teams.

Oops only realised portglenone won by 4 too so all to script so far...

Will Creggan get a hard time by St John's?

How relevant is their history when it comes to championship? I'd like to travel up if it was a close contest

Cargin had the right amount of bite against an error strewn Brigids. Keeper kick outs first class, 6 excellent and very efficient up front.

Brigids had some moments but size hurt them and must have been into double figures for wides.

One issue which cant be passed was a small section of Cargin lads who gave appalling abuse to the linesman, in front of the club rooms, ,  for most of the second half. Not on at all and a bad reflection on Cargin that nothing was done to rein them in.

You sound like Carla Lockhart and the chip van incident at the Fleadh, similar sort of faux outrage over nothing! I think you should write Cargin a letter and demand and explanation for these nasty fans behaviour

Really enjoyed Brendan McTaggart and Kieran Mcgourty on the comms last night. Good quality production and a decent game of football.

St.Johns will no doubt give Creggan a tough evening. Madness to think they wont. They're always a different beast come the championship.

You called it Nat.

Was close aright, and a surprising outcome

The league champions were poor
