What club is McQuillan?

Com Magees

[ck]

Antrim were the better team in both normal time and ET. 2 points up in both with few mins to go and let it slip.
Fair play to lads who stepped up to take penalties but I thought it odd that the entire full back line were hitting them. Unusual to say the least.
This was one that got away.

Big McQuillan looks the real deal btw. Had heard about him. A top quality senior in the making.

I see your point on the full back line hitting pens but 2 of them buried theirs in some style.
Should have won that, bit more composure towards the end of the 2nd period of e.t and we were through comfortably. McQuillan and Conhuir johnston very impressive and exciting for the future.

Yes Johnston has a big future. There 5 or 6 from that team that you would see progressing to senior over the next 2 years. I thought McCormick from Moneyglass and Higgins from Con Magees were both excellent too.

Very disappointing that they couldnt close it out.

Two up with a few minutes to go

Extra time

An Antrim team losing a lead.. be some uproar on social media about this 🤐😉

Blame those Cargin boys.....

No chance

I wouldn't reckon Monaghan or Fermanagh have near those figures MR2 and both of those Counties have been punching well above their weight in Ulster finals?

Just googled there



Monaghan have 5,000 men between ages 20 and 34 playing football it seems

So 1 in every 12 people in Monaghan is playing senior football 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'd very much doubt that

No, they have 5000 men of that age who can play football. They could all be playing tiddlywinks but that's their pick. Or they could play they level you played at which is about the level of tiddlywinks

Hateful to end up losing a game we had in our grasp, but thank God for the appearance of a few genuine marquee forwards who can kick on into top senior players in due course. McQuillan and Johnston look every inch the real deals and for that we can be hopeful.

Hard luck to all involved, big shift put in by Niall Jackmans management team and players tonight who went out with swords held high.

Was at the game and some of the decisions made by the ref were scandalous, none the less its one that got away.
Derry will take a some beating full forward line of Matthew Downey Lachlan Murray and Niall O'Donnell.

Having contested three minor championship finals in the last few years and taking the title last year, only three figuring on the panel last evening progress looks decidedly slow at Musgrave.

With zero gra towards St Brigids. We won 4 ulster minor titles in a row and it took us 10 years (after the first) to win a county title. It takes time CB when you don't have a core at senior level.

According to Donegal Democrat 7 of that Donegal team last night played for their seniors at some stage during the league. Puts that excellent performance into perspective.

Progress could be sped up if rumours are true today
