ANTRIM did well to beat Carlow and secure their Leinster Championship status but my concern is that it’s essentially a non-developmental championship. Neil McManus expressed misgivings about it last weekend and I couldn’t agree with him more. It’s a bit of a farce because it’s a yo-yo situation and will never change until Wexford or […]
By Michael McMullan ANTRIM manager Andy McEntee has named his side for this weekend’s top of the table group clash with Sligo in the Tailteann Cup. There are no changes to the squad named for their win over Wexford when Aghagallon’s Ruairi McCann fourth goal of the season was the major score in a one-point […]

AFTER another weekend of action across all codes, here is our latest Gaelic Life Team of the Week. Donegal saw off Tyrone to keep their bandwagon on the road ahead of their trip to Cork and Armagh got back to winning ways against Westmeath.

By Niall Gartland TWO recent final defeats certainly haven’t dampened the spirits of the Derry camogs, who begin their All-Ireland Senior Championship campaign against neighbours Antrim this Saturday at Cushendall. PJ O’Mullan’s side fell narrowly short against the Saffrons in the Ulster Senior Championship final just a matter of weeks ago, and it was only […]

They sat down with Michael McMullan to delve into the memories. THE cups of tea keep coming. It’s a Friday afternoon. The Doherty kitchen […]
By Michael McMullan ANTRIM manager Andy McEntee has named his side for this weekend’s Tailteann Cup trip to Wexford. The Saffrons, beaten semi-finalists last season, opened with a victory over Tipperary and will have Sligo coming down the tracks. It’s an unnamed side but Cargin’s Conhuir Johnston has been named on the squad with Adam […]
By Shaun Casey LAST year’s Ulster Junior Championship Down winners are now one victory away from competing in the Intermediate decider, but their focus will first be on Antrim this weekend before they look that far ahead. Peter Lynch and Caoibhe Sloan’s side, who also clinched All-Ireland glory in 2023, have already clocked up one […]
By Michael McMullan ANTRIM are looking at their Ulster Intermediate Championship clash with Down as a chance for a fresh start. That’s the take of captain Ciara Brown ahead of Sunday’s semi-final in Glenavy after a disappointing league campaign. The Saffrons were relegated back to Division Four after a campaign that yielded a victory over Sligo […]
Jane Adams will always have the legacy of her starring roles on the camogie fields of Ireland.
