Over the years the National Football leagues have taken a different format and in 2006 we had a Division 1A, Division 1B, Division 2A and Division 2B.
In reality four divisions as in recent years but in a different packaging. Antrim played their football in Division 2B (Division 4 in reality) winning just two of their seven fixtures to finish just above the bottom two.
Louth topped the table with Westmeath second and both advanced to the division 2 semi-finals
Today we carry a pictorial from some of Antrim’s games including the day the bench collapsed during the team photograph at Casement Park
