By Shaun Casey ANTRIM u-20 manager Niall Jackman says his role is to develop the young players coming through the Saffron County rather than demand immediate success, but that won’t derail their efforts in the Ulster Championship. Jackman’s side travel to Ballybofey this evening to take on Donegal, with a semi-final spot against either Fermanagh […]
By Michael McMullan IT’S out of the frying pan and into the fire for Andy McEntee’s Antrim side this weekend as they welcome high-flying Cavan to Corrigan Park. A draw would be enough to see Mickey Graham’s side clinch promotion. Indeed, it would only take a highly unlikely overturn in the score difference bracket over […]
By Michael McMullan ANOTHER week has moved on, yet the same synopsis of Antrim’s first season under Andy McEntee remains ahead of Sunday’s trip to Westmeath. ‘If’ is a small word, yet it’s massive. The Saffrons had all eight league points up grabs in their sights, they the two eased from Thurles remain the only […]
By Michael McMullan ANTRIM could very easily have been taking a 100 per cent record into Saturday’s visit (2pm) of Fermanagh to Corrigan Park. The Saffrons kicked away enough chances to win two games in their opener against Offaly before being hit by a Down comeback in a Páirc Esler cracker. There was the added […]
BY KIERAN LYNCH ANTRIM came into Division Three as the bookmakers’ favourites for relegation, and two defeats in two games would indicate that they’re in trouble. However, their lack of points on the board is harsh on the Saffrons, who have been desperately unlucky to date. They take on Tipperary in a match this weekend […]
Down 2-18 Antrim 2-16 Down left it late, but they sealed their second win of the league campaign in dramatic fashion against Antrim this evening. The Saffrons led for the majority of the game, but in the dying moments Conor Laverty’s men produced the goods and displayed a never say die attitude that eventually paid […]
By Michael McMullan IN different circumstances, Antrim could easily have been making the journey to Páirc Esler this weekend (Saturday 6pm) in search of back-to-back wins. The Saffrons tailed Offaly by eight points before a late fightback got them back into a position to win the game only for missed chances and a second Offaly […]
NFL Division Three Offaly 2-12 Antrim 0-12 By Michael McMullan ANTRIM manager Andy McEntee was frustrated his side couldn’t get anything from Sunday’s league opener against Offaly at Corrigan Park. Advertisement Goals from Bernard Allen and Ruairí McNamee were the difference in a game Antrim pegged back to three points with the game in the […]
By Michael McMullan ANDY McEntee’s Antrim will have the home comforts of Corrigan Park (2pm) on Sunday for the visit of Offaly in weekend of their NFL Division Three campaign. It’s the Saffrons’ third season at this level in the past decade they otherwise spent in the fourth tier. The former Meath boss took over […]
