Well said oul han. The game is different nowadays anyways. When the current team gets hit a slap, on runs the physios with their medical equipment and performance enhancing gels and sprays. The golden oldies had to make do with a splash of 'magic water' and then if that didn't work joe 'florence nightingale' downey would have done his tried and tested 'which leg hurts' examination.
The result would be oldies by 3 or 4 points!

A second gallery of photos has been added from the Dinner Dance.

Hi everyone,



We are happy to say Antrim GAA can now start rolling out Level 1/Award 1 courses. Due to the huge demand for these courses, there will be a limit of one person per club for each Hurling Level course, and a limit of one person for each Football Level one course, e.g. if you are a dual club, you are allowed one football and one hurling entry. If you are a football or hurling only club, you are allowed only one entry in your specific code. This is to allow every club an opportunity to avail of these courses. There is a limit of 24 places for each course and it will be on a first come first served basis.

(I will be sending an email next week asking for entries to the Level 1 Adult course which will be held in January & February).

Have a nice party boys....and i'll see you next year to prepair our training...

Oul han.. i say we put that theory to the test, the current team versus the golden oldies to see who prevails?

p.s i gotta feelin!

I think the football team of the nineties would have trounced the current outfit. Lead by the enigmatic John 'Bellew' Devlin, Joe 'another leg in the bag' Downey and Gareth 'rock the turkey house' Hardy, we would surely have prevailed. Congrats to the football team. If youse need any advice, youse know where to go.....

was the proclaimers in maghera on sunday nite?

congrats to alfie and dermot and the squad of footballers who put the effort in this year to go and win what they have this year you put the effort in with these two coaches they will def take you a long way it was proved with monor teams in the past it only starts now boys for div1 next year good luck and injoy it
