Antrim Football Thread

I seen them messages or at least part of them going g rou d at the time, nit worth falling out with a club u been with all your life.

Exactly. Your club is bigger than any one person or any one family. Falling out the way they did is a crying shame.
I'd like to think wise heads can prevail and they can return. Lavey are a real good community club and you'd like to think they'd welcome them back.

I see the Belfast schools amalgamation team came up short in the Rannafast but its good to see some Antrim representation in A schools competition,  its badly needed.  The panel is on the link,  would like to see the clubs for each kid, anyone know?

Great to see. Paddy Kelly deserves all the credit for pulling this together. Fair play. Much needed.

[bannside]

Totally. Paddy Kelly put in some shift during his five years. This position will need filled shortly and its vital the right person steps up.

Anything like that viable on up the county?

Randalstown, Ballymena, Ballycastle and Carnlough take a lot of clubs into their catchment.

Two Antrim teams, covering the majority of clubs, competing in A level colleges would be a great grounding for upcoming talent in the county.

Belfast a good start regardless.

Great idea

Dunloy once again losing out in small ball due to big ball.

Can't see them winning this weekend after 2 high intensity weekends on the trot, maybe stay with them for the first 40 mins but Cargin freshness will turn the screw

[belfastsaff]

Seen a few Dunloy men going off with knocks who also play football, Declan Smith and Owen Oneill - would be two big losses to the footballers.

St Johns approach of going all in the hurling has worked for them

[Spike]

Is it too soon to call Dunloy a football club now or perhaps they've only realised football is the better game?   Johnnies have done well getting to the hurling final. 4 dual clubs in Div 1 hurling now, may be something in that.

[Lár na páirce 1]

Will Dunloy be too much for Cargin now the double dream is gone and they have only the big ball to contend with it could be the case

[imtommygunn]

Them losing that could go one of two ways. Still very much Cargin's to lose.

Dunloy have a few injuries from Sunday I'm hearing. Even though, I'm expecting a good open final. Would love to see Dunloy do it but don't see it.

Wonder will Kobe feature for Dunloy in the football ?

Looked very lively in the hurling when he came on.

 if true about decky smith not playing he'll need to feature on Sunday for them to have a chance of lifting the trophy

I thought it was really good to have these really intense games in both codes, week on week
