Division 1 relegation play-off

St. James Aldergrove 1-17 All Saints 4-15

All Saints were in danger of becoming a pub quiz statistic when they made the journey to Crumlin for this division 1 relegation play-off. The pub quiz question would probably have read. What team played in a division 1 league final and were relegated in the same year?

In the end Baker Bradley’s All Saints were spared the ignominy of being part of that quiz question as they turned in a strong performance to overcome the brave challenge of a St. James side who finished mid-table themselves and will feel they should not have been in this position.

The Ballymena management rang the positional changes, fielding team captain, Sean O’Callaghan at the edge of the square where he did an excellent marking job on Ronan Hanna with James McDonnell moving to centre half and given the job of containing Seamus McGarry.

The Ballymena side got off to a great start as Patrick Ferris raced through the Aldergrove defence from deep in his own half and despite his initial shot on goal being blocked, he followed to fire the rebound first time to the net after 30 seconds.

Aldergrove kicked a number of wides before Ronan Hanna opened their account from a pointed free in the 2^nd minute but the hosts wouldn’t register again until the 19^th minute as the visitors took control.

James McDonnell, Paddy McAleer (2frees), Conor Stewart, with a well struck 2 pointer and Ciaran Campbell added unanswered points to move All Saints 8 ahead and it wasn’t looking good for the home side.

A well struck 2 pointer from Christopher McSteen got them going however and as they started to grow in confidence Seamus McGarry pointed a free and followed with an excellent effort from play.

Suddenly the momentum was all with the men in Red as they began to turn over All Saints attacks with alarming regularity and the towering Ryan McCarthy added a great long effort from play before Seamus McGarry guided his ‘45’ between the posts.

Suddenly the gap was down to two and it wasn’t looking good for the Slemish Park side but Kavan Keenan, playing in an attacking role, hit their first point for 13 minutes to get them up and going again.

The visitors attacked again from the kick-out and an astute ball over the top sent Paddy McAleer clear. His initial attempt at goal was parried by Eoin Gough but Ciaran Campbell followed up to first time to the net and leave the Ballymena side a rather flattering six points ahead at the break.

All Saints took a time to emerge from the dressing room at half time but when they did it was soon apparent that whatever was said during the half time talk had the necessary effect.

Benny McDonnell pointed after 20 seconds and as St. James dallied, Kavan Keenan took a quick bounce and go before placing Conor Stewart who blasted past Oisin McGarry after racing clear.

Paddy McAleer followed with a point and suddenly there was 11 between the sides and control was very much back in the hands of the league finalists.

Seamus McGarry, pointed a 6^th minute free and followed with another from play after Gerald Mallon had replaced Conor Browning in the St. James side but Benny McDonnell replied immediately with a point at the other end.

The Ballymena side were playing with confidence and attacking at pace and Conor Stewart fired over after 41 minutes to move his side 11 ahead before McGarry  raised another Orange flag to keep his sides fading hopes alive.

Those hopes were soon dashed however and again it was an attack where pace played its part with Kavan Keenan getting on the end of an attempted punched point by Conor Stewart to palm home.

Joe Rafferty got his name on the All Saints score-card after a strong run from deep to put the contest out of reach with 11 minutes of normal time remaining but to their credit Aldergrove fought to the end.

Seamus McGarry began a late rally when he converted a close range free and followed with another from a ‘45’ and when he slipped as he attempted to convert another, the ball fell favourably to substitute Glenn Dunham who swivelled and fired past the unsighted Conor Brennan.

McGarry pointed another free before Sean O’Callaghan received a second Yellow to reduce the visitors to 14 and another McGarry conversion had it down to 10 with three minutes of normal time remaining.

All Saints regrouped however with Paddy McAleer moving back to defence and Benny McDonnell and Conor Stewart responded with points at the other end before Ryan McCarthy concluded the scoring with a consolation 2 pointer for the home side.

There was only muted celebrations after the game. The Ballymena side had done enough to get themselves out of a situation they felt they should never have been in.

This was an excellent all round performance from All Saints with everyone playing their part but two men deserve special mention with Emmet Killough and Peter McNicholl giving an exhibition of high fielding and distribution that was the corner stones of this win.

They will play their football in division 1 again next year but spare a thought for St. James Aldergrove. They return to division 2 next year after finishing a very creditable 8^th in their league programme.

They found themselves in a 3 way play-off with Sunday’s opponents and Tir na nOg and lost to both but look quite capable of making a quick return to the top grade.

SFC Quarter-Final

Roger Casements 1 – 10   St Galls 0 – 11

Pre match, most followers of Antrim club football had ringfenced this particular quarter final as potentially the closest to call. Casements have been cruising along winning most of their matches with relative ease, whilst St Galls were impressive in both their qualifying campaign, and more recently when they looked completely home and hosed against Creggan…eight points up with ten minutes left on the clock!

And correct were those callers who forecast a close encounter. This contest was in doubt right up to the second Brendan Toland blew his final whistle. Casements going down the stretch with two point leads in Dunsilly have not produced good outcomes in recent years, the fact they hung on to see this one out another sign of their maturity as they go through now to contest their sixth county semi-final in succession.

The conditions were messy, a constant drizzle throughout aided by a strong wind that blew right down the middle of the pitch, favouring the team that was playing into the Dunsilly hotel end. In the first half that was the Milltown men, and livewire full forward Michael Pollock wasn’t looking for a second invitation to dispatch two opening points for the Milltown men, in minutes four and seven.

Daniel Quinn and Niall Burns added another pair to leave St Galls four up as the game reached the quarter stage. Casements were largely in containment mode, but still probing for their first score, which took a full twenty minutes to arrive.

A Dermot McAleese catch found Michael Hagan off the shoulder, and when Hagan in turn supplied oncoming Aidan McAleese who left three St galls defenders in his wake and show composure of a top finisher to fire the ball low into the corner of Kevin Niblocks net. St Galls may have dominated proceedings, but despite the wind advantage they were now back to just a one point advantage.

To their credit the city men found a way to finish the half with a flourish. Impressive Daniel Quinn fired over a huge score from wide on the wing offering a boost of energy to his colleagues, and a minute later Niall Burns stepped up to thump over a massive two pointer, and suddenly it was all blue.

Could Casements hold out another minute to half time, that was the question amongst supporters.  Their anxiety was heightened when Gary O’Neill got on the end of an excellent St Galls weave and fired a rocket that looked like it was goal bound, and they had their superb keeper Kevin Mullan to thank for a fingertip save that pushed the ball over the bar, resulting in a white flag that that could so easily have been green.

That brought the first half action to a close with the scoreboard reading five points in favour to a well organised and well drilled St Galls team. The big question though, was this going to be enough when Casements returned with a sizeable wind at their backs.

Enda Lynn had the first say on that discussion when he split the posts after one minute. With many now expecting a yellow and black wave the next main talking point was exactly the opposite. Exciting St Galls corner forward Daniel Quinn was well contained  throughout, but when he did manage to finally slip the attentions of Ronan Delargy and headed goalward, it took yet another superb fingertip save from the Portglenone custodian to push the ball round his post and out for a forty five. Had Quinn converted it would have suddenly increased St Galls lead to seven, and the likelihood that his hard working team might have managed out a lead of this size.

The anticipated response from Portglenone arrived, albeit eventually, although stats will show that in the first forty minutes of the contest, Casements had only produced two flags. Then it began to happen.  Enda Lynn finished off a trademark solo with a fine tap over score to ease the nerves and the lead was down to three. Within five minutes the sides were level, frees from Paddy Kelly and Michael Hagan each side of a superb effort from Oisin Doherty, and all of a sudden it was all square. It looked that Casements had weathered the storm and all they had to do was manage the game out.

St Galls had other ideas though. In the 18th minute a terrific Naill Burns free put his team in front once again, and for three or four minutes they managed to slow the game down by keeping possession, a trait they have always been associated with.

The game was spicey at times, that heightening by the minute as this contest was truly in the balance. There were lots of getting to know each other moments, often from kick outs or frees, with runs being blocked and the durability of those new skin fits jerseys on both sides being well tested.

Caolan Tierney replaced the hard working Paddy Graffin in Casements colours and made an immediate impression, sweeping up two loose balls in succession, but it was John McKeevers next throw of the dice that was to prove pivotal. There are not many better left feet in Antrim football than Ronan Kelly, and the big man made his first touch count large when he let loose from over fifty yards out for a two pointer that had the effect of dragging his team from one point down, to one point up. The energy it gave to Casements  was tangible. Enda Lynn knocked over his third a minute later and then just after, when team stalwart and recent returnee Niall McKeever rose highest to claim around the a hugely contested middle third, and fouled as he hit the ground, Brendan Toland raised his arm. Up stepped Paddy Kelly for a long range orange flag for two points to provide an ounce of breathing space for anxious Casement supporters.

Casements were now four up, with a similar amount of minutes remaining plus injury time, and some may have been forgiven for heading to the car park for a quick getaway. That’s wasn’t what St Galls were thinking though, for in a three minute spell they wreaked havoc on a Casements team who may have thought they had done enough.

Recent recruit Gareth ONeill  lobbed a dangerous ball into the Portglenone goalmouth and Kevin Mullan in goals rose highest to punch the ball clear, but in an almighty goalmouth scramble somehow a quick thinking fingertip clearance off the line and round the post from full back Kevin OKane saved the day for Casements. St Galls other recent recruit, the excellent Daniel Quinn  easily dispatched the resultant forty and it was back to a one score game and familiar territory for a backs to the wall Portglenone. With two minutes remaining Gareth ONeill raised a further flag to magnify the nerves of a Portglenone support who have seen it all in recent seasons, but this time they managed to show that they have learned from heart breaking collapses and found a way to close the game out to the relief of management and supporters.

This game was not a classic, but will be recalled as a good honest championship clash between two clubs with genuine championship aspirations. Its probably fair to say that at this point Portglenone are a bit further down the road in terms of experience at this level, although it is most obvious that St Galls have seriously regrouped from their transitional years and if they continue this progress curve will at some point find their way back to the top tables in the very near future.

Casements might just have needed a battle at this stage, and have plenty to ponder on their display, which whilst good in parts, will possibly require some improvement in two weeks when they are paired with an old nemesis from two years ago, a resurgent Dunloy.

It was a dejected Aodhan Gallagher who left the pitch yesterday, his lingering for several minutes behind his already departed teammates, most obviously having a moment of reflection, perhaps signalling the end of his days in his beloved dark blue shirt to which he has devoted almost a quarter of a century. His individual battle with Niall McKeever the particular highlight of this intriguing contest. If so, its farewell to a county legend and one of St Galls most decorated players.

There were numerous good contests going on across the pitch, the one of club captains and two Nialls, Delargy and Burns was always competitive, both men sticking to their jobs.

For St Galls Daniel Quinn, Brendan Bradley, Gareth O Neill and Brendan Bradley shone brightest along with stalwart Gallagher. In yellow and black it was their keeper Kevin Mullan who shone brightest, his trio of saves were the outstanding feature of the day.

Oisin Doherty Conor McGhee and Kevin OKane all had excellent games, whilst the experience of Dermot Mc Aleese and Niall Delargy towards the end helped to see the job through. Enda Lynn and Niall McKeever both got a good run into their legs and will strip fitter in a fortnight as the championship season reaches its penultimate stage.

Northern Switchgear Antrim Senior Football Championship, Quarter-final 

Rossa 1-10-1-15 Creggan Kickhams 

Kevin Herron reports from Hannahstown 

Creggan were the third team to book their place in the semi-finals of the Northern Switchgear Antrim Senior Football Championship after seeing off the challenge of Rossa with a 1-15-1-10 victory at Hannahstown on Sunday afternoon. 

Conditions on the hill were less than ideal with a swirling wind and lashing rain at times making things difficult. 

It was Kickhams who were off the mark inside of two minutes with Matthew Rodgers steering a shot between the sticks and Joe McAteer swung over a second shortly afterwards. 

Rossa took 10-minutes to open their account with a fine Thomas Morgan point and at the midway point of the half they pulled level after Dominic McEnhill was felled and goalkeeper Mick Byrne kicked the resulting free. 

The sides traded two-pointed frees, Creggan had restored their two-point advantage through Ruairi McCann’s effort from the edge of the arc. 

A foul on Morgan allowed Rossa the opportunity to peg them back, albeit from a difficult angle- though Byrne had little trouble in guiding the subsequent opportunity between the posts. 

Parity was only restored briefly as McCann kicked his second two-pointed placed ball in a three-minute period to have his side 0-6-0-4 ahead at the interval. 

Creggan made a lightning start to the second period and kicked two further two-pointed scores within the first two minutes of the restart. 

Jamie McCann was first to line up a shot from range that dropped over and Matthew Rodgers then added his side’s fourth of the afternoon. 

There was some brief respite for the Shaws Road men when Thomas Morgan bustled his way towards goal and popped over, though Dominic McAteer laid the ball off to Matty Rodgers to clip over his third score of the contest.

Gerard Walsh had again reduced arrears for a brief period, though his side fell further behind to a third two-pointed free from Ruairi McCann that had the score 0-13-0-6. 

A converted Dominic McEnhill free and Morgan’s third point of the afternoon ensured that Rossa were still within touch in the final quarter, but Creggan were still in control and Joe McAteer doubled his personal tally. 

The first goal of the game arrived in the 54th minute, newly introduced substitute Tiarnan McAteer took off and before a tackle came in, he was able to slip the ball into the path of Ruairi McCann to dispatch to the net and make it 1-14-0-8. 

A close range Conor Small free finished his sides scoring for the day, but Creggan were guilty of sleeping at the wheel in the later and Rossa claimed 1-2 unanswered in injury time. 

A curling shot from Thomas Morgan left Oisin Kerr unmoved in the Creggan goal, though the score was little more than scant consolation. 

There was still time for Diarmaid Rogan to swing over a nice point and Dominic McEnhill added a further score with the last action of the game to ensure some respectability on the final scoreline, though it was Creggan who advanced to the last four and keep their Championship hopes alive. 

ROSSA: M Byrne (0-3, 1f, 1×0-2pf), C Orchin, G McGrath, P Moyes, T Murphy, N Crossan, R Gowdy, G Walsh (0-1), O McVicker, A Devlin, C McDonald, D Rogan (0-1), T Morgan (1-3), D McEnhill (0-2, 0-1f), S Beatty.

Northern Switchgear Senior Football Championship – Quarter Final

Dunloy 0-14 St Brigid’s 0-13

Saturday 13 September

Brendan McTaggart reports from Toome

Dunloy laid to rest the ghost of championships past on Saturday evening as they defeated St Brigid’s to seal their place in the semi-finals.  The Cuchullains had to hold off a strong second half comeback from the Musgrave Park side who trailed by six points at the halfway mark but the Cuchullains game management and ability to keep ahead of St Brigid’s on the scoreboard proved to be decisive.

This was a contest filled with intensity, goal chances at either end and a dramatic ending that could have gone either way.  On the balance of play over the 60 minutes, Dunloy were deserving winners.  They played with flare in attack with speed and power on the counter while mixing the point of their attack at differing times.  Their game management in the final quarter gave them the upperhand against a St Brigid’s side who were throwing everything in their artillery to try and claw them back into the tie.

Keelan Molloy was top scorer with five white flags and one orange over the hour while the returning Deaglan Smith was pivotal for his side.  His presence in the middle third, his free taking and ability to break lines was sorely missed against Cargin but Smith showed no ill effects of the injury that had hampered him last month. 

Defensively, the Cuchullains were led suprerbly by Aaron Crawford.  ‘Snoozer’ held their defence together with his organisation while Conor Kinsella, Reece Cunning and Ryan McGarry were also pivotal.

St Brigid’s will look at the first half of this game and rue the missed opportunities.  While they rarely penetrated the Dunloy defence in the opening half, they rolled the dice on a number of occasions for two point scores.  They managed just one of those through Ronan Boyle while missing a further five.  The Musgrave Park side scored on just two occasions in the first half with 14 minutes between the scores, it did little to give any fluency to the St Brigid’s play.

They fought back in the second half however with Reuben Carleton, Boyle and the Finnegan brothers all taking centre stage.  They dominated the middle third for a period of time that saw them turn the screw but they got little joy from an excellent Dunloy defence.

It was the Cuchullains who made the brighter start to the game with Smith pointing a free in the second minute before Molloy split the uprights to raise the orange flag two minutes later.

Boyle responded with a two pointer for St Brigid’s in the sixth minute but it would be their last score until the 20^th minute as Dunloy dominated. 

The Cuchullains showed their ability to mix their attack with Nigel Elliott scoring after a counter attack while Smith scored his second of the game as they patiently looked for the yard of space in an organised St Brigid’s defence to put three between the sides.

It was Dunloy who became wasteful in front of the target with Seaan Elliott going close with a couple of long range efforts while Nigel Elliott had a half chance for goal only to see his effort deflect wide.

Luke McFerran raised the white flag in the 16^th minute with Dunloy in the ascendancy and when Molloy scored his second two pointer of the evening, the Cuchullains had opened a six point lead with a little over 11 minutes of the half remaining.

Paul Bradley stopped the rot for St Brigid’s when he scored in the 20^th minute.  It would be their last score of the half and while a free from Smith was the only score Dunloy could manage in the time that remained, the south Belfast side saw three efforts for two pointers go to the wrong side of the posts to leave the half time score 0-9 to 0-3 in Dunloy’s favour.

With next to no wind blowing at the Cargin club grounds, it was very much advantage Dunloy at the half way mark.  St Brigid’s reduced the deficit to five with a point from Joseph Finnegan but Dunloy managed to keep the six points between the sides in the opening quarter of the second half.  Points from Smith (three frees) and Molloy came in response to frees from Bradley and Carleton.

St Brigid’s hit a purple patch as the clock went in to the 50^th minute as Carleton and substitute Niall Duffy landed two pointers in the space of three minutes after a Higgins point to leave the minimum between the sides.  Duffy’s effort coming with the outside of his boot and looked to give his side a boost at the perfect time.

Dunloy’s game management and ability to create chances at the other end of the pitch proved to be decisive however.  They managed to keep two points ahead of the Musgrave Park men with Molloy’s free taking to the fore.

Substitute Calum Downey and Higgins split the posts, JJ Higgins with a half chance of goal before electing to fist the ball over the bar.

St Brigid’s looked for an opportunity to equalise in the time that remained but some disciplined Dunloy defending kept them at bay as the Cuchullains added their name in to the hat for the last four.

Antrim Senior Football Championship quarter-final at Dunsilly

Erin’s Own Cargin 4-20 St Mary’s Aghagallon 0-09

Reigning County Champions Erin’s Own Cargin took a forward step in defence of their title when they proved far too strong for the opposition  as they swept aside the feeble challenge of St Mary’s Aghagallon with the minimum effort before a good crowd  under the lights at Dunsilly on Friday evening.

The rain which had fallen during the day in frequent heavy showers had thankfully passed on prior to the start of the game and with a unaffected sod a close encounter was anticipated

The Toome men had to dig deep and come from well off the pace to get the better of the St Mary’s men in the 2022 final passing the post with a three point advantage, after Aghagallon had earned a nine point lead at one stage, and although the St Mary’s men have endured a poor season in league fare this term, some wondered if they could ask the same questions to the champions in this quarter final.

In the event Ronan Devlin’s charges in search of a ‘four in a row’ senior titles were more than ready to answer those questions, and despite the absence of several regulars Cargin were obviously prepared for their  opening ‘knock out’ challenge after passing the opening group phase without error.

Aghagallon were first away with an early point provided by Aiden Loughran but it brought quick reply as John Mc Nabb came from his net to deliver a two pointer followed by a point from James Laverty, and the Toome men were gaining their stride. A John Carron goal with points from Conhuir Johnston and James Laverty quickly followed to see them gain a 1-05 to 0-02 lead at the end of the opening quarter and certainly moving the leather well.

The Erin’s Own men dominated the vital central zone right from the outset where Gerard Mc Cann and John Carron took control with the Mc Cann brothers, Michael, Paul and Tomas asking questions aplenty of the Aghagallon rear guard.

As the game progressed the Toome men continued to dominate with their rear guard standing tall in defiance of any attempt to gain a path towards their posts and when Conhuir Johnston added their second ‘major’ the writing was clear at the short blast with  the dominant champions owning a 2-11 0-03 advantage at the end of a one-sided half.

Cargin returned to the fray still on the positive and holding a fourteen point advantage soon increased their lead as John Mc Nabb and James Laverty, added a couple more by the 33^rd minute before St Mary’s got their opening point of ther half through Adam Loughran.

The Aghagallon corner forward’s point was soon cancelled by a point at the other end as Tomas Mc Cann sent Sean O’ Neill in to split the posts.

Cargin were in complete charge and inroduced Jack O; Neill just as Marc Mc Afee’s long range point added two to the St Mary’s score, but Cargin soon found a reply as a Conan Johnston clearance and a Tomas Mc Cann delivery opened the door for his brother Michael to find the net.

As the quarter final moved onwards to the obvious conclusion Johnny Hannon, who had worked his socks off in the Aghagallon cause, delivered between the posts in the 48^th minute to reduce the deficit a bit but it was merely token resistance. The Toome side emptied their bench with Brendan Laverty and Ben Mc Larnon joining the action as they led 3-16 to 0-06.

Young Jack O’ Neill, who has impressed following his promotion to the senior ranks joined the action in the 50^th minute, befor the St Mary’s men had their best spell of the game as Jonny Hannon, (2) and Mark Mc Afee added points.

Conhuir Johnston and replacement Ben Mc Larnon added points apiece to the Cargin lead before Tomas McCann grabbed goal number four. Michael McCann then added a couple of points in the latter stages to follow a white flag raised by Brendan Laverty with replacement Callum Gribbin just denied a late goal fas his shot came of the woodwork in the last minutes with his side crossing the line, bound for a semi-final slot.

The other quarter final Games are to be completed on Saturday Dunloy v St Brigid’s, and Sunday where Creggan v Rossa (1-00 pm) and Casement’s v St Gall’s (4-00pm)
