Antrim Football Thread

100% CK...great post.

Antrim supporters have got used to not setting their heights too high...but we should never ever accept what was put before us in the Carlow or Longford games in PG1. That wasnt acceptable at all, neither was the prospect of us being rock bottom of the division on a horrendous negative points differential.

Once we stop highlighting that we might as well forget about it altogether.

Genuine congrats to all involved in turning things around and lets start pushing on now and create a few memorable talking points in the next 3 or 4 months.

Did Cargin get put out of the O'Cahan cup by Lisburn?

Yes I was at the game , was merely a cargin 3rd/4th string I heard the senior team was playing Moortown in a friendly

Probably find that more beneficial than playing a cup game against a team they would hammer

Thought as much though it will still do the new Lisburn management and team the world of good.

big appointment for Lisburn getting kevin murray in. a club going places

I think Lisburn could struggle this season. Eoin Dixon moving to Eire Og a huge loss in regard of scoring power, their keeper away as well i believe. Will Oisin Gorman be back this season? He is a top quality player but is at uni in England i think and went off to the states last summer.

100% , they actually played nice passages of football which was good to see and be good for confidence

[Swsaffs]

Any other O'cahan cup games?

[Saffsof82]

Moneyglass beat Ballymena

[Ghost+Tommy]

The double jobbing is a rod just to beat MD with,Gavin Devlin doing the same with Louth and Magherafelt and its not a problem there,only for Meath pipping them late on they'd be in the mix for promotion to div 1

[YoungSaff]

Moneyglass beat Ballymena

Bit of an upset there ?

AS with half a reserve team out. McAleer back with the county will weaken them for this league campaign compared to last

shame the better clubs have chosen not to take it a bit more seriously after its regen last year. 

[bannside]

Pity. Has always been a valued competition in SW, but organisers  pigeon holing it into the calendar just for the sake of running it off hasnt done the competition any favours.

Used to draw some crowd on final day, marching band etc.

U20 had a convincing win against Wicklow ahead of the senior game on Saturday. Reality is our u17/u20 football could be competitive with around half of the teams in the country , but in Ulster we have the underage powerhouses of Donegal, Tyrone and Derry , with the others not that far behind.
