Endas through to next round also, just our game v Sarsfields left to play

Was a standard enough affair between the Endas & Lamh Dhearg. St Endas FF is a class act.

Would love to see st endas go one better this year. One of THe few Belfast clubs moving forward. Scrap Belfast actually the whole county. Not overly surprised with glenariffe result. They seem to be on the slide. St galls are bound to fancy it. Didn't they get beat in an all Ireland intermediate club final by some Galway team not long ago ...... role on the senior championship. Maximum 3 decent games !!!! Think it's between the dall and loughgiel. Shocker I know. Dunloy mind you will be hard to shift in a couple of years

Dunloy have a golden ticket this year, but they will need a big preformance to beat the dall.

we've a good chance of making a final this year if we play to our potential and keep our current form going but winning it, well im not sure about that. Cdall have a good well seasoned team there and will be hard to shift from the top spot. Loughgiel gave us a good pasting in the Feis Cup final and showed that they are still a serious contender after a lot of under par performance's this year.

Weds nights league meeting between ourselves and Lgiel will be more than interesting and will see where we stand. At the min im still in the 'were not there' camp in terms of winning a championship but these next few games will see where we are.

Im hopefully more than confident about winning it.

I think Dunloy are still maybe 3-5 years away from becoming the dominant force again. But who knows, if they scalp cdall it might happen. I think it'll be couple of years yet.

Great game in prospect at Rossa tomo night. Town in good form at the minute with the new management team. Rossa not looking so good coming into this. Winner takes all in terms of league survival. I'll take a spin across and watch this one. Fairly confident of a ballycastle win.

Heard rumblings of St. Endas fielding an illegal player in their preliminary game

Heard that myself, he was underage apparently.

hurlingstick · August 08, 2017, 03:18:15 PM

Yes it's true regarding St Endas player and Armoy could have had them ejected from championship.

TheGeneral · August 08, 2017, 03:26:53 PM

Could of had them rejected?

Is that a past tense and they have decided to let St Endas to play?

hurlingstick · August 08, 2017, 03:29:21 PM

Correct

SillyAsFaugh · August 08, 2017, 03:31:00 PM

Makes you wonder about the significance of rules, not a great advertisement

themac_23 · August 08, 2017, 04:20:50 PM

Bad if clubs are complaining and getting a team thrown out for using an underage player...

If they had of beaten my team or put them out later in a later championship round I wouldn't be pleased knowing that they shouldn't be in the competition.

I don't see how you work that out Usain. Since Raymond was ousted they've played 2 teams that they'd played previously:
v Dunloy (May 14) 4 pt defeat
v Dunloy (Jul 27) 15 pt defeat

v Cloughmills (Apr 30) 10 pt win
v Cloughmills ( Aug 5) 9 pt win

So you could easily argue that they've gone back not improved.

I'd guess you're basing it on the fact that they've won their last couple of games but they've been against Cloughmills who haven't won a game all season and against Rossa who have been as you say " not looking so good coming into this".
So again I don't see any basis for thinking Ballycastle have improved.

I don't doubt that the Town will beat Rossa on Wednesday and avoid relegation but that's more down to the (lack of) quality of the opposition rather than the wonderful new management.
