Such a shame about PG1. Have gone backwards at such a high speed too. Can't see them getting out of their group this year will be lucky to win a match.

Nice one Bannside!

The new Antrim PRO seems a little less clued in than the previous one

now now - the last one was putting 40 hours plus - unrealistic to expect next one to do same as a volunteer

Was never going to live up to the expectations considering the work Sean put in.

Sean Kelly done a phenomenal job as PRO. He set the standard so high that whoever followed was always going to struggle to match.

Agree that Cargin, Creggan and LD are in pole position for this years championship. Anyone else would be a major upset

The timbering you boys gave the Gorts last week is doing some job papering over those cracks bs

Pg1 would be safer finishing her up for the year. Sure they've gone back something shocking 

[Hoof Hearted]

You do realise BS doesn't just stand for bannside

[bannside]

Lol. The fun will commence in earnest in a month. Nothing up to that point will have any relevance. PG1 in the mix along with half a dozen others, with Carragan a bit ahead of the rest...but on any given day....that's what makes current Antrim club football so interesting for a change.

do u think it wise to have a club break at adult level now? my bar room sources tell me no knock out football til late sept. is it not better to run the games off as quickly as we can ? before a possible return of restrictions in Autumn - just saying

[Sportacus]

Run the competitions off quickly, Senior and Underage would be my view as covid disruption is on the way, especially when the schools go back.  Why run into the same problem as last year when some underage finals were postponed and never got played.

do we need 3 months  to run off championships ? and risk them not being finished - madness

Straight knock out we wouldn't, but we have the group stages which everyone felt was a great success last year considering the times, the only issues last year were on the likes of the dual clubs, and Rossa missed out I felt the most last year in this regards. their hurlers were feeling the strain of that in the semi final.

Can we change the format? Some people would be on complaining if we did, and some on complaining that we don't. there's pleasing no one these days

It's an eight week programme , tied into the ulster club championship starting around 15th October. Group format was great for most clubs and raised good level of income for county.
