Slightly off main topic but in line with what has gone before i see more lazy journalism today in the Irish News who also have done a bit on rating county websites!

Tragic news about the untimely death of former Antrim footballer Sean Paul O'Hagan in a car accident last night - deepest sympathy to his family and friends and all at Con Magees Glenravel.

Go ndeanaidh Dia trocaire ar a anam.

Despite being a nice stadium, the nou camp falls way short on atmosphere and shouldnt make it near the top 20.

IF you haven't already done so try - rlacey@wit.ie

Thought this thread might be about tyres?

second only to the Athletic Grounds in Armagh.

Double take!

St. Brigid's Belfast - est 1998 as a Juvenile Club.  Adult teams started playing in League and C'ship in 2004 i think and in first season Won the JFC and Div 4 league, then this season won Div 3 league and IFC.

Massive numbers and well run club (now that it is finally fashionable to play Gaelic Games in S. Belfast!) and have just started develping a new pitch / pavillion complex at Musgrave Park.

Also Cumann na Fuiseoige were only formed in 2004 as Juvenile and started adult competition in 2006.

Cargin 2-10 v 1-5 St. John's

Expect that this game was very one sided?  How did the new DJ play for Danesford?  Supposed to be an unreal talent.

Scullion Hurls have recently moved into online trading  - again nothing to do with the company - just a lot of Antrim clubs get hurls from them.

Antrim walloped Kerry last night....on the Playstation 

[particularly in Antrim]

His column used to be fairly entertaining from time to time, now he appears to be trying to make a name for himself slating anything he can find wrong about the GAA - particularly in Antrim.

Had heard rumour that some people would like to scrap Minor and U21 grades for an U19 competition - looks like some are pre-empting this!

In Antrim ANY club can enter Senior Championship if they so wish - and are also free to choose at what level they play championship at in any given year subject to no howls of protest from other clubs.

Leagues are fairly indicative of Championship status but promotion / relegation isnt affected by C'ship performance as in tyrone.
