St Gall's retained the Antrim title in yesterday's replay at Casement Park, thanks to two goals from Darren O'Hare and a solid defence.
O'Hare's first goal came from a clever flick in the fifth minute for a 1-1 to 0-1 lead and they never again fell behind.
The defending champions were held to just two scores in the second half - a point by Karl Stewart and O'Hare's second goal on 49 minutes. A pass from Ciaran McGourty found O'Hare right of the posts and he fired a rocket past Chris Lynch. Lamh Dhearg had closed the gap to two points with 12 minutes to go.
