Having asked the question I abandoned my laziness and looked. Cargin Brigids is being streamed. The option to turn down the commentary is available to all purchasers free of charge.

Portglenone Vs LD probably the most interesting game of the weekend, if Casements as strong as expected they should be overcoming LD with ease however easier said than done!

Why would that game be the most interesting?

In my opinion, the later game in toome is between two main contenders for championship.

What you think of that BigGreen?

LD should be getting blown away, they have shown before though they are the type of side to be a stone in anyone's shoe cone championship, don't think Casements would panic either way but the risk of an upset (albeit slim) makes it more interesting.

The game in Toome is probably the better game, but Cargin at home on a mission to show they ain't for the old people's home yet isn't an interesting story at this stage.

Everybody has a different view of what's interesting!

Cargin v Brigids should have a championship feel to it
Loser, whilst obviously not out, will have big game against st galls.
there also isnt much love between the 2, should be tasty
plus its at the best venue in the county for a game. should be a few good neutral heads about

[BigGreenField]

Are any of this weekends games being streamed then? On holidays so was hoping and expecting to have at lease one game to watch online!

I'd even tolerate Jerome's commentary on this occasion

So NATSoSaff and BigGreen are the same person?

Steady on their Colombo.

Most eyes will be on Cargin...reports are they had a good pre cship.

Thats the focus you get when you are championship favourites. Isnt that right BigGreen?

From where Im sitting its wide open this year...underestimate amyone at your peril!

[Dunsilly King]

We struggled past an under strength Rossa team and though we were 9 or 10 up at one stage I was glad to hear the final whistle. On today's performance we won't be any use to St Galls.

LD impressed me when they beat us a couple of weeks ago. Very strong physically, and Creggan put away a Cargin team handily enough on Friday night to suggest they are serious contenders too. Wide open this year as previously suggested, probably about six clubs thinking they have a chance if things go their way!

Bannside change the record man 🤣 Each year you have been saying the same thing, yet Cargin have won them all bar 2 from the date of this post of yours. Think they won it 18,19,20, 22,23 & 24.
Your reliably consistent. 🤣🤣
And I genuinely love your optimism and I also enjoy your contributions.

[bannside]

Thanks DK, if you can wade between my serious posts and wind ups lol.

I said 8 yrs ago that it was wide open and still think that wasnt too wide off the mark. Been so many very close games during that time, semis and finals included, extra time and extraordinary comebacks. But to give Cargin their due, they have a rare quality of eeking out wins when they were most needed.

They wont step aside easily.

[Round or stuffed]

Having taken in a game in high town on Wednesday, I noted two things

1) Kristin Healy has returned to the St. Endas fold, a great boost for them going into championship if they need it, not sure about a man with 8 inter county appearances this year playing in a reserve shield competition, maybe there is no regulation that mitigates against it

2) The Arc on the high town pitch facing the whin bushes is more like 30m than 40 and I would suggest the small d is also not the correct distance, could this explain Endas high scoring in the league?

Hopefully most eyes get to take in both games, best of luck to all sides and hopefully the Mayo style of all out go for it becomes infectious.

A lot of one's writing ld off can't really think of why pg1 a tendency to lay down when the going gets tough. If ld get stuck in pg1 are in real bother
Not to mention the quality ld have.

I can see why pg1 are favs but id side with Ld to cause a big upset

[Caesar]

Odds on a LD and St. B double?

[imtommygunn]

At the risk of poking the bear here... why are portglenone getting talked up so much? They may be better than LD (maybe) but have they done anything to be strong favourites? It's being talked about like David against Goliath...

Cargin to beat St Brigids by 5 or 6.

[Caesar]

Expecting the home team to win every game:

Cuchullains Dun Lathaí Vs O`Donovan Rossa
Naomh Gall Vs Naomh Eargnait, Muine Glás
St. Mary's Aghagallon Vs Pádraig Sáirseil CLG
Roger Casements Portglenone Vs Lamh Dhearg
Con Magee's Glenravel Vs Tír na nÓg Randalstown
Clann na hÉireann Carraigin Vs Naomh Bríd
All Saints GAC, Ballymena Vs Naomh Pól CLG /St Pauls GAC
Kickhams GAC Creggan Vs Naomh Eoin

[Níl a fhios agam]

Cuchullains Dun Lathaí Vs O`Donovan

Have to agree with Ceasar, however i can see  LD or Biddies taking a scalp. Dont think both will however

[NatSoSaff]

The Jonnies will make life difficult for Creggan, but fall short.

LD & St Brigids will both collect hard fought away wins,

St Pauls will push Ballymena to the wire.

The rest are guaranteed home wins.

[NorthAntrimSaff]

I think LD could be the upset
Cargin at home will pull through
Ballymena should be a lot stronger than league and win
Creggan to win by 7+
Dont write Rossa off. 2 pointers with Byrne and McEnhill could keep them in the game
Home wins for the rest
