Cargin title defence begins as Antrim race gets underway

CHAMPIONS Cargin will once again put their title on the line this weekend when the Antrim SFC begins.

Ronan Devlin’s team host neighbours Tír na nÓg on Saturday evening as they earmark a 14th title.

Only Creggan (2021) and Lámh Dhearg (2017) have lifted the McNamee Cup in the last decade.
