The cargin men been very quiet since the game yesterday... spike and EOC same men very loud after hammering Creggan

Must've came down the m2 with the tails between their legs 😉

Some result for rossa didn't see that coming but fair play to them completely deserved it.

Cargin thought they'd the game won before throw in and it showed in the second half. Cargin starting to slip..

Ronan devlin surely be gone now? Heard he got some abuse from Cargin supporters after the game which is sad to see. great coach and manager.

Be an interesting final biddies surely start as favs but rossa don't care about the bookies as u have seen past 2 games

Hard to know whether Aldergrove were super there or Ahoghill were terrible. Perhaps a bit of both. I thought it would have been a lot tighter for sure. On that display alone its hard to see Ahoghill even getting to this stage again given their numbers and age demographic.

One sided affair and nowhere near as difficult to ref as a tight game obviously but a solid performance from the man in the middle.

Hard to know,

Jimmy bernerd and Tom really didn't look fit at all
2 of them coming off

Excuses aside 😅

Once Aldergrove got going wow their attack tore us apart we had no answers at all
Seamie mcgarry 2:9 from play outstanding
Hanna very strong
2 very good fielders in the middle

Could of seen the last of a few of our lads tonight but we move on

Put my 10pence in for the weekend

Ahoghill vs Aldergrove

Hopefully our lads get over the line
Seem to have a full team jimmy been on fire, be hard to stop the mcgarry brothers but hopefully we should have enough

Our lads by 2


St Enda's bs gort

St Enda's heavy favs on paper as they should be but I think gort will give them there fill of it, seriously big and physical team with some quality players. St endas to get it tight.

St Enda's by 1/2



Dunloy vs biddies

Dunloy bit sloppy at the back vs lamh dearg but heard they really weren't happy with the defending that day so I can't see it being that bad again.
Biddies have the quality to hurt any team as we seen in the first half vs st johns but then they come under a bitta pressure and everything goes tits up,

I'll take dunloy by 4 forwards to sharp


Cargin vs Rossa

Rossa might've played their championship final vs pg1 and this could end up a heavy defeat,
Cargin the last day cruised home vs Creggan jonston unstoppable.


Cargin by 9+. (No disrespect to rossa)

Hearing that Cargin vs rossa

Sunday 4pm Dunsilly pitch 1

Haven't heard anything about Dunloy biddies game yet

I unreservedly apologise for losing my discipline yesterday and apologise to anyone who I may have offended.

Thats twice over a long period attending games...I had a similar outburst in Carrick on Shannon when Leitrim hosted Antrim about 8 years ago.

Not proud of it and will endeavour to ensure there is no repeat.

For the record, never at any stage was my vent directed at anyone from Rossa.

Apologising for a bit of raw emotion after 80 mins of ups and downs. I wouldn't be apologising, things happen nothing came of it.

Park it and move on lads

Pg1 really struggling here in the city

If they beat st pauls  next Saturday then they are definitely up.
If they lose then sarsfields could stay up by beating st pauls.
Will come down to who has the worse score difference then
Sarsfields already on -9

We conceded 5 goals and had a black card in the first 20 minutes. Nightmare. Moneyglass had the strong wind and played downhill and tbh they didn't have to work too hard to get the goals. Our lads hung in there  and played admirably in the 2nd half, but got caught with a sucker punch goal which effectively killed it with about 7 to go. St Paul's won't have much to fear from either.

Moneyglass never out of second gear wind helped Sairsfields more than moneyglass no.6 great from distance
Good player

I sense a little bit of jealousy here with you and the Glenravel men.

You enjoy the relegation play off and I'll enjoy watching my club and your parish men in the quarter final.

Honestly, no jealousy at all on my part. I was just responding to EOC's proposal and pointing out that there were other teams at the same level as us, TNN, moneyglass  & St Paul's, but got gifted a handy win which covered their true level. This season was always going to be very very difficult for us, so to be still in there  with a chance of staying up after the league phase is an achievement in itself with us favourites to go down via the league before it started. unfortunately we got a difficult  championship draw, but that's what can happen so no complaints  on that front.
I'll happily enjoy supporting my club at the playoffs, we've nothing to lose and everything to gain. Success  is different  things to different people, if we survive, that would be like winning a championship for us going forward.

If your not competing for the championship you don't matter 😉

Sairsfields staying up would be a great success for them

So we compromise the quality of our senior championship by putting dross like moneyglass and sarsfields into each group to make up numbers

And then we say scores and points against them dont really count?

What a joke. 

Our flagship event reduced to Go Games


Both stayed in div 1 avoided relegation, (thus far,
Both team in the hardest groups  no mention of St Paul's on worse score difference than moneyglass in a much easier group,

Or Glenravel and tnn struggling in the easiest group of the lot.

Very easy to pick on the newly promoted teams

We won't hold our breath.

Anyone know what game/games if any, are being streamed this weekend?

Tee'd up for Marys/Casements game on the Saturday and Cargin/Galls on the Sunday


Surely someone better to do streaming than that Quinn man his commentary would put u to sleep doesn't even know the rules

Last round has some interesting enough games. So group 1 looks the only group where relegation is still to play for with it being between Randalstown and Glenravel and the rest look foregone conclusions. You would expect Rossa to beat TNN but could be tight enough. On paper it will likely come down to score difference as you'd expect Dunloy to beat Glenravel (unless they rest all their hurlers which could happen...).

Creggan Ballymena probably the biggest game now. You would imagine Cargin would have too much for St Galls. Aghagallon Portglenone might have something in it.



2 real do or die games which is the way it should be imo, rossa and Creggan favs id have it but wouldn't rule out an upset or 2 on the cards, and cargin probs to strong for st galls if burns isn't fit

Think there was more than just the moneyglass Cargin game lads, time to move on from it

Take it all 3rd round games are neutral ?

It was a very deliberate low act from a player who then later in the game headbutted Mick twice as for the moneyglass no.7 it was simply cowardly I would say he was proud of himself later that evening nothing but a complete coward not to mention being a horrendously poor footballer


Think that's a bit far now to be honest.

Calling someone a coward and a horrendously poor footballer on an online account, poor taste that

A picture posted by the ref is doing the rounds of said ref holding a card aloft with the TNN number 2 on the receiving end with the caption

"A good weekend of football was had by all (apart from no 2) with a speak no evil and laughing emoji"

I hope this is merely worded badly as if not this is in incredibly poor taste, Tomás has been an integral part of the Cargin set up and I am sure he was firmly in management plans for the rest of this championship, I am sure many would like Tomás in their side come the sticky end of the championship not only for his ability but also his experience.

Speaking of poor taste, I see our superstar ref tried to make himself centre of attention on social media, poking fun at a Whitehill player whom he sent of.................

Difficult to critique Cargin properly in this affair. Any football played came through them, though moneyglass clearly set their stall out to stop them at all costs. It turned tasty at times, and the typical poor officiating helped neither team. Thomas Mccann appeared to be badly injured. Big loss to Cargin going forward if so. Things shaping up for a massive 1/4 final v Creggan.

Not nice to hear of an injury but don't think will be too much of a loss. From chatting to a few within Cargin, might release a few others as has struggled for a few years and probably only holding place due to name.

What is this about the sending off?

Didn't see any post or heard anything else about it.
