The Antrim Senior Football Club Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition between the top Antrim Clubs. The winners of the Antrim Championship qualify to represent their county in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship and in turn, go on to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. The 2005 champions of Antrim football were St Galls from Belfast, they had won the Antrim championship for the last five years in a row. In 2006, Cargin knocked out 5 times champions St Galls and went on to the final against Lámh Dhearg which ended with Cargin winning by a scoreline of 1-14 to 2-10. In 2000 no title was awarded, as both finalists were ejected from the competition, because of fighting. However, in 2005, the 2000 title was awarded to Cargin.[1]
