Antrim Football Thread

Cushendall and Carnlough though close enough. Even Cushendun.

Is the plus side not that it will end up being more than just Oisins as there are no other teams for a good few miles about so there'll be more of a player pool?

Glenravel & Cloghmills only a few miles up the road

Would they not fall into Moneyglass's parish 😉

North Antrim is a big place when it needs to be

Glenravel is close inland but you could go along the coast from Larne to Ballycastle and there's no other gaelic football. It's a big catchment area but there's also not a huge interest in football in the area.

I think of my panel I have 9 Glenariffe, 6 Cushendall, 2 Cushendun, 1 Carnlough and 1 Ballycastle. That's 19 girls in that area playing football at u14. Camogie will have Carnlough, Cushendall, Ballycastle and some Naomh Padraig all probably have that number at least.

Numbers are small but for as long as there's enough to field, we'll keep trying our best.

is that a 25 to 30 mile catchment area? Great niche to find.   Only St Galls and St Brigids can compete with that

St Brigids are like Footballers without Borders.

Down taking a lead from Antrim with a Year 8 schools tournament, the Eamonn Burns Cup so perhaps the view that it's been helpful to Antrim.

25-30 mile be a bit of a stretch for Dunloy, no?

Not much noise about the potential team to face Armagh next weekend. With what appears to be available and what McEntee has been selecting, I would suggest it wont be far off

1 Byrne
2 McCabe
3 Walsh
4 Keenan
5 J Finnegan
6 Lenehan
7 McAleese
8 Stewart
9 Hand
10 P Finnegan
11 McBride
12 Nagle
13 Murray
14 McCann
15 McEnhill

Burns would be unlucky to miss out but McEntee will prob cite size as a big factor in selection. McQuillan and Johnston wont be far away either however the likes of McAuley and Boyle could be surprise starters if he wants to be more defensive. It's difficult to predict as the league games saw him field a team that looked to want to have a go at teams. He cant do that v Armagh or a massacre will ensue. Jordan is a huge loss.

I know that to be absolutely a million miles wide off the mark Young Saff. Tell your "contact" he is talking nonsense.

[bannside]

Andy McEntee is in charge of Antrim seniors and I was talking to him today, he is totally committed to this group for the present, and hopes he can be competitive against Armagh, and regroup to have a crack at the Tailteean.

Maybe some of our better players player like Marc Jordan,  Peter Healy or Adam Loughran might be available to play their part.

In anyone's book, these are some of our top players. Let's hope they are available, and, we can all judge things once full season is over.

[Take the Mark]

Not that anyone is expecting Antrim to win, but hes talking about re-grouping already?

We are well fixed, a few more results like last Sunday and he wont see the club season out.

McGinley got some stick from you for promoting Antrim from Div 4 to 3, then retaining our position in Div 3. The Meath chancer on the other hand getting a bye ball for relegating us with barely a whimper to Div 4. BS you are a serious hypocrite
