Shock win for Antrim over Donegal

Donegal 0-12 Antrim 1-10

Antrim created a sensation at Ballybofey today with a shock Ulster SFC win, their first against Donegal since 1970.

A Tomas McCann goal in the 57th minute gave the Saffrons the belief that they could end the drought, and they celebrated with their supporters as they booked a semi-final date with Cavan.

A misfiring Donegal side hit 18 wides, and just couldn't shake off Antrim's gutsy challenge, which gave them their first provincial championship win since 2002.
