Antrim SH Final: Dunloy 1-16 Loughgiel 2-12 It was a real cracker at wet and slippery Casement Park yesterday as Dunloy just managed to hold on to their title.
The holders won the crown for the fourth year in a row with Greg O'Kane snatching the winning point from a close-in free-puck right on the hour.
Loughgiel played superb first-time hurling but Dunloy matched anything thrown at them and led by 1-9 to 1-8 at the interval.
