Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) 2022/23

Recommended Posts

In the Lough 41 Championship yesterday wins for the top three Loughgall, Annagh United and Dundela. Ballyclare Comrades move up to fourth spot after a see-saw five goal thriller at Dixon Park. Dergview and Institute remain winless after five games and occupy the bottom two places at the foot of the table. Dundela at home to Loughgall probably the pick of next weekend’s fixtures. 
Full round up of yesterdays games;

O.K., 5 games in and things are taking shape.

Top Glentoran P5 Pts 13, second Coleraine P5 Pts 12 (pesky Glenavon), third Cliftonville on goal difference P5 Pts 12, fourth Crusaders P5 Pts 10, fifth Linfield P4 Pts 9 and sixth Larne P4 Pts 8. No surprises there, really

Bottom half: Seventh Carrick Rangers P5 Pts 7, eighth Glenavon P5 Pts 5, ninth Ballymena United P5 Pts 4, tenth Newry City P5 Pts 3, eleventh Portadown P5 Pts 0 and bottom on goal difference Dungannon Swifts P5 Pts 0.

Portadown and Swifts both look in trouble, but it is only 5 games.

Another corker from Andy Mitchell for Carrick at Mourneview and perhaps an even better strike by Curtis Allen for the equaliser!!😉👏

Both tonight’s fixtures at Inver Park and Solitude cancelled and tomorrow’s Premiership, Championship and Intermediate games postponed ‘as a mark of respect by the NIFL’ following the death of QEII yesterday.

Loads of football groundhoppers now on YouTube.

Footie Adventures being the best known regarding every level of Scottish football.

Tbf, the chap also paid a visit to Northern Ireland grounds during the summer.

Wasn't sure if there was a market for this regarding Northern Irish football.

Until I came across a local on YouTube going by the name of Peaky Bannsiders.

The Bann being the river that runs through Coleraine. 

This N.I. Youtuber is the cat's whiskers regarding Northern Irish/Irish football grounds all reported in a wild Ian Paisley style accent.

Yer man is a Coleraine season ticket holder and when and if there ain't a football match he'll quite happily do a groundhoppers report on a GAA Gaelic football ground.

Fascinating watch for the thousands of stadium geeks out there from a country so close but which many of us no so little about.

Ballymena get past Ards after extra time in the League Cup.

Two league matches on Friday: Crusaders v Linfield - could be tasty - and Newry City v Dungannon Swifts - the sort of match Swifts need to be winning.

Cracking second half tonight. Have to say I didn't see us coming back from one down. Happy to be proved wrong (again). We really had them on the ropes for long periods. Two scrappy goals but a real battling performance after Tuesday nights exit. Hope Josh is OK.

Thought it was all over when Linfield scored so quickly in the second half.

Very enjoyable match.

Didn’t see the game last night, (in Wigan at the Rugby League - SL Semi Final), watched the highlights this morning though. Only half a dozen games in but the Premiership is already shaping up to be a fascinating contest this year. Hopefully Carrick can continue a decent wee run of form up at the Ballymena Showgrounds this afternoon.

Sounded like a close game though @Jacksgranda? Couple of really good chances for the Bannsiders but undone on the break. Delighted with 3 points for the Ambers up at Ballymena!👍

That was the silver lining in the cloud.

Plenty of goals in the Championship yesterday. Leaders Loughgall put 4 past Welders at Lakeview, whilst new boys Newington had their most impressive return yet with a 5-2 win over Ballyclare at Solutude. Ballinamallard also hit four with a late burst to push past Ards at Ferney Park. Institute had a comfortable 3-0 over Dergview at Darragh Park. Rounding things up Warrenpoint continued their recent run of form with a 2-1 win away at Knockbreda. 
As the table takes shape. 
Loughgall sit top with 16 points from 6 games. Annagh United are second on 13 points having played a game less. 
Dergview rooted to the bottom still winless with just a single point from their first six games.
