St Brigids won't win a championship, bit like the Man City of Antrim GAA. 😉

[EOC1923]

If nothing else the Antrim championships have turned out really interesting. There were years there there was literally no point in training for it....and St Galls stuck in second gear until about mid August.

Bit of a piss take there, Cargin certainly fought hard in those days of St galls dominance though more often fell short managed to break their run, which instead of being 5 and 8 in a row would of been 14 in a row!.
Some exciting games in recent years surely but the same team has won it Six of the last 8 seasons which is a period of dominance in any record book.

Looking forward to this years championship myself, could be a clinker

That type of dominance usually brings an Ulster success, the johnnies and ourselves of course reached Croke, Cargin should be there next

Ye never know

That St Galls team were a different level. Always represented Antrim well in Ulster and beyond.

Cargin are a great team but can never see them winning an Ulster medal. Maybe if St Galls werent around 10 years ago when mick, tomas, justy, kobo, ts, close etc were younger they might have had a shot.

[Milltown Row2]

Giving predictions from my perspective isn't the best thing, but in regards to seeing what Cargin have in their set up I've not seen as good a team in a while. Physically and mindset is top notch and maybe Ronan is the missing link.

People ask me why da feck do you referee? The truth is simple I get to see some cracking games from a totally different perspective than players, managers, supporters and a very small feeling of still being involved on the pitch..

Having the best players means nothing unless you have the other combination of management tactics discipline then it means nothing..

Looking forward to the year

Agree, congrats to the Gorts, good club, be great to see them hit a golden era in the near future.

Any word on a score from Ahoghill v Creggan, I see that was a 1pm game

[imtommygunn]

Great result for the ladies footballers beating Monaghan and qualifying for the intermediate ulster final.

I don't see any result on either twitter whist.

Monaghan B?

[imtommygunn]

Don't think so but not an expert.... I think them and Tyrone are in intermediate.

[SaffronSports]

Antrim, Tyrone and Monaghan are in the Intermediate Championship. Antrim and Tyrone have both beat Monaghan so will meet in the final. They play a dead rubber next week too
