Stewartstown must be aiming for the all Ireland junior title next year. Lost their first 3 and two of them were against fintona and Naomh eoghan who you'd expect to be around the bottom of the division. Even though they won against Naomh eoghan, When's the last time cookstown were even considered a mid table intermediate team? I can't think of another club who have been relegated and promoted as much as them over the last 10 years or so. Especially considering the quality and numbers they have had in youth football. Then the likes of gortin, aghyaran and Owen roes with a lot less numbers are able to compete in division 2 for years and aghyaran obviously at the top end of the table.

Townie teams innit. Hard to keep them at it.  Don't know what you'll get from one week to the next.

Stewartstown hardly a townie team as the vast majority of the players come from the local rural area. Might as well call Moortown a townie team while your at it.

If the Harps seniors don't pick up any points against Kildress and especially Drumragh at home in the next 2 games then it's probably bottom 2.

Was taking about Cookstown tbf but Stewartstown always had that townie vibe as well I felt now that you mention them.

Whose managing Derrytresk?

What's the story with league football and county players in Antrim? Are there any starred games like other counties where county players are permitted to play? It seems the club scene just plays away without the county players?

If I am correct in saying that Corrigan Park is owned by the county as opposed to St Johns, then the club should not be able to dictate in cases like this if they want to be 'stubborn'

Corrigan has been owned by the Johnnies for as long as I can remember.

Might be a bit pedantic but are all the grounds not technically owned by the GAA and that's what the Trustees of the club are for.

Bigger question is will there even be a St John's club in 20/30 years?

They are the biggest club in Belfast? Why do you think this?

Great to see the Hightown Drunken Louts out again at the weekend, not only abusing our players but one of their own...........absolute disgrace

What went down?

Moortown good win over derrylaughan. Kildress also comprehensive win over beragh

Have plenty of time for the Beragh club but absolutely delighted to see Conor Gormley getting a nice hammering in Gortacladdy this evening in first game!

Why do you say this? What happened?

Group 4 will be interesting!

You'd have to fancy Aghagallon agus Creggan based on last few seasons championship form.

Speaking to a man there about the Tailteann cup. So in theory, Antrim could make it all the way to the final which is 13th July. This would mean that there would be a good handful of players that won't have kicked a single league ball for their clubs over 15 games? Is this correct? And potentially may only get a couple of championship group games if their club doesn't progress? Jesus Christ the system is well and truly broken.

Yeah, seems totally mad.  Antrim start their leagues very early in comparison to other counties.  Maybe the solution is to start the leagues later?

Kavan Keenan put in a serious shift, some really good power running, put himself about and really tried to drive forward at every opportunity.  Ryan McQuillan good as well,  exactly the type of corner forward that is needed,  lively,  evasive and looks like a score taker. Thought Paddy McAleer was going well until he went off,  must have been injured, lost their way around the middle for a while after that.  Conor Hand good game as well. Marc Jordan just puts in a shift every time I see him play.  Enjoyable game overall, plenty of scores. Look very vulnerable though at the back I feel, didn't win the break ball enough from their long kick outs and from that Tipp looked like really opening up the Antrim defence.  They really could have had another couple of goals themselves.  Tougher tests await but decent start

Small crowd at the game, know it was going to overlap with the ulster final so probably should have thrown in an hour earlier.

I wonder did they ever manage to drag McBrearty off the stand, wittering on for a long time.
Cringey stuff from Niblock too chuckling every time McGuinness did a fist pump.

It wouldn't surprise me if Tyrone beat Donegal in 2 weeks. No great shakes.

Also that is a very posh voice of Thomas Kane for a South Derry person.

Anything negative to say matey?

It's just really a procession at this stage.  If Cargin went all out, they win the league.  They will cruise to another championship this year.  There is nobody stopping them.  We are watching Man City like dominance and its hard to know where it will end.

Junior league starting this weekend. What are we thinking this year? Killeeshil very hard to look past, expecting a big year from them. In terms of dark horses, I'd be looking at drumquin and glenelly. Two good young sides with plenty of quality.

Eskra vs Killyman
CNG vs Augher
Strabane vs Derrytesk
Urney vs Killeeshil
Glenelly vs Brackaville
Aghaloo vs Tattyreagh
Donaghmore III vs Brocagh
Errigal III vs Drumquin

Full house

What was the accumulator odds on it?

Are St Galls back? 5 from 5. Best start in a long time surely?

All those games should be moved forward by at least a half hour.

Would only clash with soccer. Just have to make do.
