Antrim Football Thread

[EOC1923]

Dunloy and Glenravel Ballymena, while Ballymena didnt do themselves justice in the league playoff they have some talented footballers, Glenravel won the under21 couple of years ago and maybe Noamh Brid could bring one or two into the mix

Name what players are ready to slot in, anyone could rhyme off a few club names.

Like slot into the first 15 or be part of a squad that can develop through the year?

Its a big under taking moving into a senior intercounty set up, but if we turn our noses up at players from lower leagues then where will that get us?

Who turned their nose up

People have on here mentioned about lower league players and some posters have said why look at these players....

The weekly question:
What is happening with the age grades next year? Is it stay u17 for the next 2 years?

[NAG1]

From what I can see this incoming year counties have the choice to revert back to u18 for minor.

The ages grades below stay at u13 u15.

The following year the recommendation looks like going back to the original age grades of u12 u14 u16 and u18.

U18 players will only be able to play senior after their schools season has finished from my understanding.

Asked why Donegal had an under-21 championship this year was informed, on this board, such was at the discretion of their county.
So the Tie Conaill men are a special case......

[JimStynes]

At the minute managers have no clue whether they're going to be working with u18 or u17 for the incoming season.

all the cargin lads staying on? lot miles on clock

Was chatting to Mick and he feels unfinished business which requires another year...
Lotta young lads chomping at the bit but no retirements.....

[erinsboy]

Also plenty of young lads with alot of experience gained and championship medals in there back pockets.
More coming through which I'm sure will feature next season
Keeping the older lads on their toes !!

Going back to last Sunday's game I think the Cargin management don't a masterclass tactically to stifle Glen and would have thought there game plan was well intact until the final minute of the game .
Let's see if kilco can hold them to 11 scores.

Creeegan and portglenone the challengers again next year ? Belfast miles off

Lotta challengers ...Aghagallon may well be first in line but folly to ignore L Dhearg, the Johnnies or possibly St Brigid's....
