Trying to get out of football's skid row

It’s hard to get excited about my home county beating London by 21 points, given that the exiles have been struggling since the Celtic Tiger first roared in the late ‘90s.
However, the result has put Antrim on the verge of promotion to Division 3 of the league for next season and when you have been playing in football’s skid row the the only way is up.
The Saffrons have first to defeat Tipperary on their home patch and the Premier County men will give them a run for the money.
However if Jody Gormley’s side can do the business then even I will be pleased for them as it also guarantees our footballers a place in the All-Ireland qualifiers when we are put out of Ulster.
