Ulster Football Championship - County-by-County Guide

ANTRIM

Manager: Frank Fitzsimons (1st season). Titles: Ulster 10 (1951), All-Ireland 0. 2015 championship: Lost Ulster quarter-final to Fermanagh 1-13 to 0-8. Qualifier Round 1A 2-15 to 1-16 win over Laois followed by another loss to Fermanagh (1-21 to 0-11).

How it unfolded

Further depressing regression from the recent high point of reaching the 2009 Ulster final. Nearly got promoted but were quickly left facing the usual problems of player unavailability – former All Star nominee Michael McCann walked away, CJ McGourty was dropped before the qualifier game with Laois. Somehow though they mustered a remarkable comeback win against all odds. Albeit the rematch with Fermanagh brought more agony.
