Despite a productive youth programme which has paid dividends for St Brigid's for years wonder whey the had to borrow, a lad from Michael Davitts (sanction) for the under 19 final.....

Theres a panel. Think likes of mctaggart on it. Boys that would attend a lot of games

B Crossan runs the show.....regular at many games...??

Antrim all stars shortlist released. I know the funding maybe isnt there for it but id like to see one for each grade. Seann Elliot up against C Johnston. Both deserve one. As do D Smyth and N Swann at 6

Agree with that, some positional changes to suit some but to have both those lads at 10. isn't right.

It's a nonsense and really is a waste of time.

Neither of those two at six are fit to lace Paul McCann's boots. Anyone who can't see how integral he is to how Cargin play really shouldn't have a vote.

Shifting players like Conal Cunning around into a corner forward slot  who get plenty of airtime just so he gets an award farcical and disrespectful to any genuine corner forwards who lined out in intermediate and junior grade.

Definitely agree Oso....votes do not matter in this...
A few individuals select the line up, and they will determine the winners.

So, which other team other than Gall's or Cargin has made it through the first round of Ulster in the past 20 years....?

Agree, naomh conaill dominated the game, they had Cargin beat, two or three times, and only for Hail Mary sort of stuff Cargin managed to bring the game to extra time and then get over the line. cargin did get over the line though and credit to them for that but it was day-light robbery.

 

There seems to be a hard done by approach here from some

Not sure how that has come about, or looking to get credit for beating a Div 3 team in the final.  

Facts of the matter is this Cargin are the only show in town, that's been evident from getting that lucky goal against us  , I jest...

The attitude from the players from my perspective is top drawer, haven't seen that matched this year or last few any time I've been involved in their games.

Think Mick was talking about disrespect or lack of, after the final, not sure who that's was directed too, not many would, with all seriousness, say they haven't been the top team, so not sure whos disrespecting them.

So this will be 7 runs at Ulster championship, big win last year and now another go at the Derry champions..
Seasoned campaigners in Ulster

I hope Cargin represent us well and win Ulster.

Appreciate its a different level and not easy, especially when sleep walking through Antrim and then met with hard, flying runners, tacklers etc.

The chip on the shoulder thing is mad though. Cargin clearly the best in Antrim and I gave Dunloy no chance, being slated for saying I hoped they at least had a go.

Glenties game was genuinely lucky for Cargin last year, Glenties could have been out of sight but Cargin hung in and got level by hoofing in high balls that 9 times out of 10 don't result in a goal.

I was disappointed they then played within themselves and tried not to get hammered by Glen. They literally didn't have a shot from play in the first half.
Galls used to play on their own terms and beat many teams in Ulster playing that way

I appreciate going toe to toe may have resulted in a hammering so damned if they did etc

But I'd leave the chip on the shoulder shite to Tyrone people (who you always get a rise out of!)and answer any critics on the field in Ulster.

Cargin the best by far from here and I genuinely hope they push on this year...though Glen or Slaughtneil are admittedly the toughest draw bar Kilcoo.

A quality team but won't get the kudos Galls got till push on in Ulster. I hope you do.

Jeez such utter tripe from bb, and similar rubbish from G...

Not worthy of comment...green eyes with poor memory with vision blurred by jealousy.....

Lotta little green men prompting some of these texts...

Facts are Cargin are well ahead of the pack in Antrim

Seven senior titles in nine years as well as a couple of under-18s and the ability to bring those sides onwards to senior level ensures they will remain strong...

As a matter of interest, how many players from this and recent Cargin teams would have had their college football in the south Derry schools?

Ronan Gribbin is a former Malachian, product of St Malachys on the Antrim road Belfast.

A big majority or in fact all of the rest of the panel attended St Pats Maghera, St Pius X or St Mary's both Magherafelt.

As for making comparison with St Galls of course the Milltown men were a super side but unlike the Toome men they were assembled from players across the province,whereas Cargin are 'home grown' through out...

As I have said before, Cargin are the best team in the county without any doubt.
They have, by far the most talented squad without transfers and look likely to dominate for a while.

"Hope does spring eternal' CK....and those who suggest upset are in such mode, not citing cause for such.

As you say let them pay visit to Tom Toal or other such establishments to be suitably rewarded....

So rumour has it Cuchullian's lost interest in the hurling championship......

I did the game they played Creggan and Creggan bate them by 3..

Right you are ref....should read, 'not able to get the better...........etc, etc.......

Of course Dunloy are not proceeding to a County football final without a chance.
But they really need to up the ante as their form in just getting the better of an out of sorts under strength Creggan or will not be enough.

Cargin have been there and done that and arguably game moved up a gear in the past couple of years.

Cargin will go in as hot favourites and those who look forward to upset put your money down for a good return

On the way to Oz......

So with the notable exception of Conhuir Johnston (who got a few minutes game time) and Eunan Quinn are the only players left in pursuit of a senior championship medal from the county squad.......
