Antrim reach first Ulster football final in 39 years

Antrim 0-13 Cavan 1-7

Antrim will appear in the Ulster football final for the first time in 39 long years, following their shock win over Cavan at Clones. This three-point success may have been an upset, but no-one will dare begrudge the Saffrons their place in the sun on July 19, for they played Tommy Carr’s Cavan off the park and should have won by a much greater margin.

Four Paddy Cunningham points and two each from Michael McCann and Sean Burke did the trick for Liam Bradley’s men, but they were forced to hang on after substitute David Givney bagged a late Cavan goal. Source - Breakingnews.ie.
