Going off the SFC it seems to be Cargin in the driving seat , they looked good against Naomh Brid and in second gear really and won comfortably I think they'll be hard stopped.

Leading the chasing pack will be Dunloy , PG1 , Ahaghallon (Who I think are second best) , Creggan , St Johns and whoever else can get out of Cargins group whether it is Naomh Gall or Naomh Brid

is the intermediate championship group stage then straight to semi finals, have seen in a number of previews that q finals are being predicted, but there haven't been q finals for the last few years

Straight through to semis as far as ive heard

That is correct, yet with the IHC there is Qtr finals,which is more appropriate, given the group sizing. You also have the lop sided nature of only have two groups, last year, and most likely this year, the semi finals have been slaughtering sessions.
St.Endas will give Ulster IFC a good rattle!

Not so sure about this , it would take a decent senior team in Antrim to give the Ulster IFC a rattle , you look last year at Glenullin , placed well in Derry senior league eventual winners gave most teams including our own county representatives a hammering , Clonoe also last year in the Ulster IFC and going well in the Tyrone senior league this year. As much as I think they will win Antrim if they face one of the bigger county oppositions it could be a long day for them.

I agree. Maybe a 9th placed team in Antrim could give it a rattle. Ballymena/Rossa/Glenravel

Ballymena would have gave a good rattle the year they were narrowly beaten by Derrylaughlan in Cargin think 2 years ago ? who lost to Balinderry in the final who went on to be beaten in the AI final by a late penalty

they had a good run in senior league that year if i remember correctly !
