Me.  Think I see 4 or 5 across the Queens and UU squads now that I've put my glasses on!  Couple of lads at best in the MacRory quarters.  Those squads are teaming with players from other counties . Good luck to the few lads who are involved, but it's a big hole in our pipeline.

Two 11's but yes we are short at that level, I've seen these teams close up in games before they hit sigerson when UU get to this level there are players that turn up later, I take it UU is a combination of all the UU colleges?

Jamie Lamont was on the seconds of UUJ one game I did, and a lad from our club, but the panel they have is massive

Watching it here live. Two starters Patrick Finnegan and Dominic Mc Enhill, both at 11. Plus three subs out of 2 x 35 man panels. Level at HT.

I recall being at a Sigerson final between the two, circa 2006, and I reckon there were 8 starters and 6 subs. Not sure we really made the most of that talent tbh. Yes we pushed Kerry to their limit in 09 with most of these players featuring, but I always thought there was more in this group.

Anyone name the Antrim players in that final?

[Milltown Row2]

Mcgourty McCann for starters?

[bannside]

Micko for sure. Andy Mc Clean..Possibly Brendan too? Tomas or James Loughrey, Deaghlan O Hagan??

[imtommygunn]

McCann started late that year and would have been a definite starter had he went all year. I thought Tomas was floating round that year too? Micko Herron was a decent singer son footballer.

Queens always seem better than the sum of their parts and jordanstown too many individuals.

[bannside]

Fair enough Duine. Thought Aidso and Pol Doc and a few others had started, but there you go.

Anyone who thinks Paddy Finnegan is not close to county standard would have to agree he looked very comfortable in that company tonight, hardly put a foot wrong and was on the ball a lot.

Anyone want to take a go at when the last two Antrim players to play in a Sigerson final? Hint. It was only a couple of years ago.
