Have St. Brigid's many lads playing from other counties now?

Have the Downey brothers moved on and miss out on the big day out?

Good achievement for CM in his first year.

2 have moved back
Still 3 there, not sure how involved they are, starting/bench/injured/not in squad....

Edit
Just saw team sheet in Saffron gael and there was 2 starting

The three Downeys playing with St Brigids, grandfather on their mothers side was a founding member of St Brigids. They have a very strong family link to the club, explains why they stayed when the cousins returned to Lavey

Founding member my hole. He had more clubs than Tiger Woods. They'd fall out with their own shadows...

Well nobody predicted that weekend

SOMEONE BUMP THE BELFAST GAA IS DYING THREAD 

[Silver Eel]

Which Rossa is going to turn up, the side that beat Portglenone in the quarters or the one who got beat by 20 points by Dunloy in the round robin?

Well, that question was fairly answered!!

[Sportacus]

Great to see two new teams in the final. Serious amount of arrogance in here, people looking down on clubs like St Brigid's and Portglenone as if any of us were world beaters. Humble pie time for quite a few posters.

Big weekend for Gaelfast.

[Spike]

Gaelfast will be getting some pats on the back now

[BigGreenField]

An entertaining game as much for the manner of Rossa's comeback.

good to see ref blowing the messy pulling and dragging that are designed to stop teams playing football. He did that early and a game broke out rather than have 2 teams sniping at each other for 60 mins.

Ive said for a year or two now that Antrim Football is wide open, but it took this weekend to prove it.

This is emphasised by the fact that no one on here even had Rossa in the top six (or eight even).

While most of us cant look past our own clubs, Antrim football needs a strong city representation and this weekend most of the better ballers were from the city.

Many of the precieved notions and opinions on here for the last few years can be relegated to the outdated thinking sector. Theres nothing but a kick of the ball between many clubs on any given day.

Fair play to Rossa, not going to gripe about anything and instead congratulate them. Bad defeat for us but such is life 

[rogercasement]

Was at the match today and similarities between it and our game with Rossa were unreal. Like us Cargin merely thought they had to turn up. Like us once Rossa got a run on them they had nothing left to give. Like us they made a lot of strange decisions and Like us the officials seemed hell bent on making sure Rossa stayed in it. Fair play to Rossa all the same.

How was the game? Did cargin start to show their age or were the older lads still their best players?
