i give Glenravel a good chance of getting past Glenullin. Back to back titles for the Glen lads but a very very young side, Glenravel a good team and i think could take this one.

John Joe, now there is a legend... was talking to him a few weeks ago. LD motoring well, their second half display against Ahoghill coming from 8 down to win by 4 was very impressive. They will be feeling good about themselves now after a poor start to the league.


Agh now BS, grasping at straws I think, LD for me a spent force

Hearing that u18 down from next season will be run  by all county but reflect a regional system, ie. Div1 all county, Div1a city and div1b Sw.

John Oboyle was the glue that stuck the Sw together, couldn't be replaced.

Agree 100% on Niall Burns, definitely county standard.


Fine player Niall, expect to see him called up along with Tiernan MCCormick. Seriously young senior panel.

I mentioned above a project I was going to work on for the Senior Football Championship.

I posted the first few profiles tonight on FB, Twitter and Instagram so I thought I would copy out the text parts and post them here for you to read.


St John's

What are the minimum expectations for the Championship?
At least reach the last eight of the competition.

Who is your key player?
Key players this year will be Pat McBride and Paudie Nugent.

Does your club have a player that you think could make a breakthrough in this Championship?
Young Connor Hand and Conchur Adams will be breaking through this year.

Is there another team in the Championship that you think people might be surprised by?
Portglenone have had a great league campaign so watch them.

If you don't win it, who do you think will?
Cargin will be hard to beat.


Rossa

What are the minimum expectations for the Championship?
To qualify out of the group.

Who is your key player?
Dominic McEnhill.

Does your club have a player that you think could make a breakthrough in this Championship?
Ruairi Grant young half back has had a good league first year at senior level.

Is there a team in the Championship that you think people might be surprised by?
Us, Rossa.

If you don't win it, who do you think will?
Tough call I'm going for Portglenone to carry their league form into the championship.


Creggan

What are the minimum expectations for the Championship?
Win it.

Who is your key player?
Conor Small.

Does your club have a player that you think could make a breakthrough in this Championship?
Dominic McAteer.

Is there another team in the Championship that you think people might be surprised by?
No.

If you don't win it, who do you think will?
Cargin.


Moneyglass

What are the minimum expectations for the Championship?
Quarter final stage. 

Who is your key player?
Tiernan McCormack.

Does your club have a player that you think could make a breakthrough in this Championship?
Break through players would be again Tiernan (only 17) and Paul Duffin.

Is there another team in the Championship that you think people might be surprised by?
St Galls could be a surprise team given they're in a group of three and have a good chance of making a quarter final and who knows from there...

If you don't win it, who do you think will?
I think the championship is very open... Portglenone and Cargin final for me with Portglenone just getting over the line!



I'm still looking people to answer those five questions for most of the other teams in the Senior Championship so if anyone wants to do it, send me a message. If someone supports a team from outside the senior championship, feel free to answer the questions for those teams as well and I'll add a post in as well.


Where is this at?

Surely if each club were allowed to donate one gate takings from a home league game a season to SG that would go a long way to helping them out


Think every club in Antrim already makes a donation to the lads

Is the championship in Antrim not a bit of a formality this year? A mate of mine was telling me PG1 are 4/6 to win Antrim and only 9/2 for ulster. Seems short to me. Kilcoo and Glenn wont be easy beat


I take it you are looking click bait?

We blew yet another lead last night to end up with a draw, probably a lucky one at that.

8 points up at one point in the first half, then changed tactics and went conservative, retaining possession, when St Galls were there to be put out of sight.

That extra point would have been very valuable.

It has been a season of poor decisions and missed opportunities and I fear the worst.

St Endas next week is a must win or we are gone.


Sw yous 2-2 to 0 up after 10mins  , how did you lose that lead

Is Quinn big Eddie's son?

Best of luck to the team today. No matter what happens been a big year. Hopefully get another day out of it too.


No. Eddie would be his uncle, he's a son of Martin

Any team news yet?

Antrim: Michael Byrne; Patrick McCormick, Peter Healy, Eoghan McCabe; Dermot McAleese, Declan Lynch, Marc Jordan; Eunan Quinn, Cathal Hynds; Patrick McBride, Adam Loughran, RuairĂ­ McCann; Ronan Boyle, RuairĂ­ McCann, Dominic McEnhill.

Subs: Luke Mulholland, Cormac McGettigan, James McAuley, Barry McCormick, Gerard Walsh, Colm McLarnon, Conor Hand, Joseph Finnegan, Conhuir Johnston, Odhran Eastwood, Calum Higgins.

From preview on GAA.ie. Understand there was another ACL injury on Tuesday night at training

Why is mcGettigan not starting ???



That would have to be the youngest midfield pair in inter county football at present, 19 and 20.

Andy has a habit of tweaking the published first 15, expect to see Deccy Lynch start tomorrow, very much needed for his know how at this level against a very physical Carlow team
