If they stay committed and a few come back from injury then another good run in the Tailteann and a big day in Croke Park is still there.
Both teams are a world away from the top level.
You know Antrim are Div3 and needed to win last game to stay up?

Or Rounders?
The recent results at Minor or under 20 level are alarming, and yet another wake up call that the gap is widening between the traditionally strongfootball counties and the rest.
As Saffs of 82 says, maybe we are Div 3 across the board, at all levels....in which case we are going to take some hammerings against top Div 1 sides.
We are a fairly prudent bunch here, no one thinks we are able to compete at the top tables. But surely we can aspire to get to the second division across the board and continue organic growth from there.
If all relevant parties (clubs in particular but also schools and co development squads) could find 10% extra from somewhere, and another 10% on top of that the following year, we would be on a much better footing.
That's a lot of buy in required - and some group/body/committee needs to start selling that soon!
Has Gaelfast made no difference then?
You know Antrim has (in football) been rubbish since the 50's?
Will take more than Gaelfast to reverse our fortunes
Would be some turnaround in 4 or 5 years to have us competing with the likes of Tyrone

Quote from: Saffsof82 on April 11, 2024, 08:06:32 AMbit of context too, that Derry team were all ireland minor winners,they beat Cork & Kerry in recent challenge games, put six goals past Cork and 7 past kerry. Derry & Tyrone would be the 2 hot favourites to win u20 all ireland. If are a DIV 3 team at senior(just about) what makes us think we can compete at the top tier at underage?The people who constantly tell us how amazing the juvenile footballers in their club are.
