Awful hammering they took first round so would need to be a good turnaround. Same for st johns and doesn't really get any easier with Cargin coming. Galls Ballymena maybe pick of the games and Creggan / LD not a bad one either.

Aghagallon St Pauls should be interesting. I'd take Aghagallon for that one.

[Take the Mark]

Creggan will hammer Lamh Dhearg, especially with home advantage. 10 pointer for me.

[marty34]

Predictions for this week:
Ahoghill / Brids - Brids
Pauls / Aghagallon - Pauls
TNN / Dunloy - Dunloy
Rossa / PG1 - PG1*
Glenravel / Aldergrove - Aldergrove
Creggan / LD - Creggan
Galls / BMena - BMena*
Cargin / Johnnies - Cargin

*wouldn't be surprised to see a home win

Surprised how many taking Aldergrove , I know Glenravel poor against PG1 but think they'll have enough for the Grove especially at home

Is Aldergove Crumlin area?

[AllStar15]

Yeah

Think St Paul's have a real good chance to get 2 points and kickstart their championship. Aghagallon without McCann

Their pitch is in Crumlin Town itself.

Pitch is a generous name for it.

Seen better surfaces with cows on it.

[NAG1]

Did they ever get their issues sorted with the local PP?

They'll not get a better swing at it anyway than they have !

correct 

[inabsentia]

Fairly sure they kicked the can down the road for a few years. Basically once current lease runs out thats them gone

[erinsboy]

Have Aldergrove any ambitions to improve that facility or look for a new site?
If you ever needed an understudy of the problems within our county surly an area like Crumlin is a good starting point.
Massive potential in that town but from the outside looking in they seem to be massively under achieving.
Modern facilities would be a good starting point ,not trying to take away from anybody trying within the club either BTW.

[imtommygunn]

From where they were round the time I was playing to where they are now there must be a few people doing something right in there.

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

A big population increase in 30 years or so. Largely from west Belfast. A lot of the GAA people who moved out still with their original club?

As said, they aren't doing too badly at the minute. They've had worse times.

[Hectic]

Aghagallon made short work of St Paul's then - I thought it would have been more tricky given their struggles this season and the venue.  But again highlighting how little can be taken from league form.
