Antrim Football Thread

Moneyglass will be disappointed

Rasharkin not at the races either!

I don't think our junior champions have ever done well in ulster.

[NorthAntrim]

Rasharkin probably best chance in a while. Relegated off the back of a few 1 point defeats in div 2. Held their own in a lot of games then go and win div 3 only slipping once. That saying they are very open at the back, ODonnells pace tore them to shreds and wasnt at it but looks like they got ripped open yesterday

[imtommygunn]

Yeah I thought they were our best chance in a while too but the county final definitely tighter than I expected.

Junior football in Antrim a very low standard compared to the rest of Ulster.

[Hectic]

Anything mental at play when our teams go into Ulster?

Do we give the opposition too much respect?

Was only following Rasharkin on Twitter but seemed to concede 3 quick goals - not many teams will find a way back from that.

I read somewhere a Cavan division 1 team is playing in the Ulster Junior Champ so I think these results can get skewed in many ways.

Arva, gave ballymcguigan some hammering who i thought would have been a strong junior team.

Unsure who that's fair or possible.

Hearing good prep for Cargin recently in a challenge game

Spike, i feel a stand of some sort at Dunsilly should be looked at next. Especially with the amount of championship games it currently hosts.

A bit of terracing do the job. The grass bank is far from ideal.

I was at the Camogie match at the weekend at Dunsilly and a real matter of urgency is the toilets.

I was standing in the queue at half time with a pile of Derry ones and we were at the furthest away ones which also had the Slaughtneil team coming out to use them. Apparently the other one that the ladies were queued at, one of the toilets was out of order as well so it was a bit of a disaster.

The Derry ones in the queue were taking the piss out of a so called centre of excellence having so few toilets. Presumably, and it's been said before, the intention wasn't to have as many matches there but it needs addressed. Someone said there's toilets round the other side of the block but they were locked apparently.

I've been at games there when there was portaloos but definitely think a toilet block down in the corner near the wooded area would be useful.

Yes that is correct, they are division 1, winning their relegation playoff to stay up again next year. Their intermediate representatives, Ballyhaise, are also division 1. Makes a bit of a mockery of the whole system.

how many teams in div 1?

[NorthAntrim]

Cavans 12/13th best team are playing junior? What an absolute disgrace. We should put our senior runner ups into intermediate and Portglenone into junior next year       

[Saffsof82]

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.

[antrimman667]

Cargin will also give Glen their fill of it. need to be discipline in possession and try eat the clock and slow the pace of play
