Your opinion aint worth much Lar, you claimed nobody would touch Creggan or Portglenone 

Seemed to work alright 😊

all jokes a side - IMO i do think there will be 10 points at least in cargin v rossa.

[Níl a fhios agam]

you could be right and i would have thought the same ahead of Casements game, as im sure many others would have.

However i saw them hit 30 points v Casements and im sure you couldnt do that without decent quality. if they hit 20 v Cargin, im sure it will be a tight affair

[belfastsaff]

2 of the goals they got were very lucky - cant see them getting the same calls 2 games in a row but from a Belfast perspective i would love to see a city team in the final.

Corrigan proving no real benefit to rossa either as both teams very familiar with the venue

its always interesting to see how Belfast clubs seem to get behind each other whereas in the SW the opposite is true

Which is the way it should be.

[BigGreenField]

Brigids Dunloy has been a tight match the last two years with little between them, could go either way.

Brigids will need to let the handbrake off and Dunloy will need to cause chaos for both to hit their stride. Should be a good game with both teams needing to have a fast pace to play well.  Could honestly go either way.

Cargin should be comfortable, in Rossa's locker is to bring hurling physicality to level the game a bit but Cargins forwards are a cut above Portglenones and they'll also manage the game a lot better should Rossa get a bit of a run.

Luck as ever on injuries, discipline and players doing mad stuff will play its part.

Hopefully two good games.

Cargin by 8+

Dunloy by  4


Don't think that'll be far away

[Silver Eel]

Which Rossa is going to turn up, the side that beat Portglenone in the quarters or the one who got beat by 20 points by Dunloy in the round robin?

Being put out of the hurling has helped, players back and just give it a lash. Still think cargin will be a step too far.

You forgot to mention the performances of the officials - after all thats why Rossa are in the semis according to some around here

[EOC1923]

We have came up against Rossa regularly in the last 5 years, we mostly came out on top but the games were never easy, far from it so why would this one be? and we did lose in the group to them in 2022.
So I envisage two close games hopefully we can get to the final. The other semi I think really is a tough one to call and although Dunloy the bookies favourites I see it as almost a 50/50.

Put my 10pence in for the weekend

Ahoghill vs Aldergrove

Hopefully our lads get over the line
Seem to have a full team jimmy been on fire, be hard to stop the mcgarry brothers but hopefully we should have enough

Our lads by 2


St Enda's bs gort

St Enda's heavy favs on paper as they should be but I think gort will give them there fill of it, seriously big and physical team with some quality players. St endas to get it tight.

St Enda's by 1/2



Dunloy vs biddies

Dunloy bit sloppy at the back vs lamh dearg but heard they really weren't happy with the defending that day so I can't see it being that bad again.
Biddies have the quality to hurt any team as we seen in the first half vs st johns but then they come under a bitta pressure and everything goes tits up,

I'll take dunloy by 4 forwards to sharp


Cargin vs Rossa

Rossa might've played their championship final vs pg1 and this could end up a heavy defeat,
Cargin the last day cruised home vs Creggan jonston unstoppable.


Cargin by 9+. (No disrespect to rossa)

[AllStar15]

Endas v Gort - Enda's by 2 or 3
Aldergrove v Ahoghill - Aldergrove by 5
Cargin v Rossa - Cargin by 10+
Dunloy v Brides - St.Bs by 3

[Swsaffs]

Quite refreshing to see a few lads who actually know something about football making a page to promote Antrim gaa,

And not 2 clowns

Seem to put in alot of effort going to all codes and male or female.

Really enjoy the interviews after games, something that happens after every game in tryone which I'm a big fan of

WE ARE ANTRIM is the page
