What can you learn in 20 minutes?
For reasons best consigned to history I only made it to Casement for the last 20 (+4) minutes of yesterday's win over Sligo. It was the result Antrim fans were hoping for and represents a very solid start to the campaign to get out of Division 3.
There were other eye catching results in our Division which will help us gauge the extent of the job in hand - Fermanagh lost in Tullamore, complete with two St Galls players on board; Cavan notched 2 - 20 in their win over Roscommon and Louth beat Wexford. It is hard to see one team racing clear of all the others although next Saturady evening in Breffini Park will tell us a lot about the Saffron's chances of promotion.
Antway, returning to the questin I set myself at the head of this blog. What can you learn in 20 minutes?
That Antrim's determination to hold on for the win was commendable
That Paddy Cunningham's confidence continues to increase and his final point of the day was exlempary
That Justin Crozier and Tony Scullion commanded the half back line admirably under big pressure towards the end of the game
That the referee was simply wrong in a number of the decisions he gave in Sligo's favour
That Thomas McCann remains a dangerous ball carrier
That Antrim are attracting bigger and more vocal crowds than before
That Michael McCann is one of the best players in Ulster
That list will do for now. Imagine if I'd gotten there any earlier??
