Antrim are set to be without full-forward Michael Magill as they make their push for promotion from Division Three in the coming weeks.

Magill was forced to retire early from Liam Bradley's team's two-point win over Roscommon at the weekend and the manager admits that his loss will be a big blow to his team.

"I'd say big Magill will be out for at least two or three weeks. He'll be a big loss to us, but we'll just have to get on with it," said Bradley.

However, 'Baker', is still confident that his charges can pick up the necessary points in their remaining fixtures to secure second tier status for 2011.

"I said at the start of the year that if we got ten points we'd probably get promoted and I think, if we can get the two points off Offaly, it's be enough to do us because the teams sitting in third are four points behind us and there's only two games left after next weekend," stated the Saffrons boss.
