Ulster U21HC Final: Antrim overturn half-time deficit to defeat Derry

Derry’s wait for an Ulster Under-21 Hurling Championship title goes on after they were defeated by defending champions Antrim at Loughgiel Shamrocks this evening.

It looked promising for the Oak Leafers at half-time as a Cormac O’Doherty goal saw them lead by four points on a scoreline of 1-05 to 0-04.

However, Antrim emerged for the second period to take command.

Four unanswered points saw them take a one point going into the last quarter and although O’Doherty made it a one point game with just over five minutes left, the holders pulled away to win by four points on a final scoeline of 0-16 to 1-09.
