Bannside, any new faces in the Casements line up for this season ? Any major difference you see in approach with Mattie ?

A prominent minor player has signed from another SW Club. Will boost their chances of retaining the MFC, not sure about Adult players but they usually make a couple of signings every year from their neighbours Greenlough.

What's the craic with Ballycastle? Have they no football at all anymore?

[SaffronSports]

They were in Junior Championship a few years ago but think they didn't fulfil all of their fixtures and haven't heard of them since.

I was at their pitch last year for a camogie match and there was a wee football blitz going on the other pitch but that was only wee totes tbh. They must be trying to keep it alive but not sure what all they have going.

They didn't field a senior football team last year as Niall mckenna wanted to still play football for the paddies. to enable him to hurl for ballycastle and play football for sarsfields, Ballycastle never entered a team.

Always something!

Laugh out Loud...

No new faces, just a few good minors from last years minor champions, and a few returning from injury or travels.

Big panel, all loving Mattie so far and the set up looks firmly energised again after going a bit flat during Johns fourth year....it happens.

Expecting to be in the mix when it matters.

Did they field a team the year before that or are you just making stuff up?

[Na Glinntí Glasa]

Ballycastle haven't fielded a team for the past number of years. They did enter a team in the league about 4 years ago but pulled out before it started.

Some of the Ballycastle lads are now involved with the new Cloughmills football side this year so its given them an outlet to play now.

Fancy Creggan dominate the league this year and beat Cargin at the weekend. They're in really good shape and gave The Loup a hammering in a challenge game last week.

On the flip side, St Johns discipline is exactly as expected going by reports of their challenge game last week. Some things never change.

Creggan also beat Bredagh well on Sunday past

Matties men beat Downpatrick and Cargin beat Carryduff maybe doesn't say much for Down teams

Does this new team have any Cloughmills players or is it similar to the girls team?

[HTownlad]

I know the Cargin Manager was involved previously as a coach with the same team, but would he be the longest severing Manager in Antrim across all teams?

No it's because Niall McKenna told them not to enter a team so he could play for the paddies LOLOLOL
