No idea Gael. I'm too far removed from that think tank.

Any big upsets at the weekend ??

Great to see newly promoted Antrim town stick it up to moneyglass, looked like they gave them a tricky game and they have more than proved they won't be out of their depth in that division. Moneyglass have seemed to have really dropped the standard again and I feel they might struggle against the bigger dogs in the league, though credit where credit is due to Antrim town and I'm sure I've read that there is a few st comgalls men in here like youngsaff that are bound to be proud of their men's performances. 😀

Thoughts on the weekends action ??


Our lads ran Moneyglass good and close ! A good win for Lisburn against Naomh Eanna I heard a questionable free kick at the death won it !!

Any other surprises or scandal ??

On another note

horrible that the reality is Antrim are back to division 4 we need to escape this version of being a yoyo team , didn't see much about the game against Kildare but they are obviously a strong side.

Hopefully Corrigan will get announced soon and we can look toward that , however based off Armagh's performance yesterday , i think we could be in hot water !1

Was their any chat of any potential candidates for the job next year ??

I wouldn't say that now from what I hear Antrim got a few very questionable calls a 2 pointer from inside the small arc?

And I heard they were missing 10+ players, only going but what I heard from down the road

But 4 points is a very tight game indeed

Definitely Serpent

We worked hard and gave it a good rattle a couple of goal chances just didn't fall our way , however young Ryan Clarke had a stormer , hopefully we can build on this and get a push on to pickup a few points , the lads and Barry were a credit Yesterday!

Questionable 2 pointers ??? not sure what game you were watching , I thought the referee was consistent throughout and made calls as best he could , trying to take away from us running one of the bigger teams close , I think we will cause bigger upsets than that the lads seem to be shoulder to the wheel which I love to see ! Big things to come from us so please take your foolish judgement of us and stick it where the sun doesn't shine  ;D

Listen I'm just saying what I was told by someone who was at the game they could be wrong I wasn't there I was at our seniors men's game vs rossa, thought we could've gotten something out of them seeing as they were missing a few key players but here we are.

I hope your right young saff after making such a meal of it on this board and it isn't the first time either

Wasn't really a questionable free and it was a bit of justice after the ref marked up a 2 point free off the ground as a 1 point kick. He was shown the video at half time and accepted he got it wrong but didn't change the score.

What's the state of play among teams in Division 2?

Looking from a distance Moneyglass and St Endas the teams to beat.

But from a distance don't get a proper feel of what teams have available between county commitments (senior and underage and potentially two codes), injuries and lads leaving the shores for a greater or lesser period.

Lisburn interesting as well.  They seem to be progressing nicely over the last few years and started with a good win yesterday.

Apologies for my ignorance bystander It was not to my knowledge Moneyglass were fielding a B team. Now the result seems to be slightly more fitting. Could this be a tactical play from the moneyglass men? My only hope is that is what our lads were doing against Creggan this weekend  :o

Gaels , how exactly am I making a meal of it im merely saying to take your judgements of a typical outsider who wasn't at the game elsewhere as it is nonsense , good to see your lads are going well anyway ! a good trimming for yourselves against an understrength Rossa , i wouldn't be so quick to talk about other teams maybe look a bit closer to home.

I don't see how that is a bad result for a newly promoted side , I will back our lads to the hills , game could of went either way and also a "B" team ?? I doubt they were missing that many if so please correct me ??
