Hamill points Antrim through to semi-final clash with Tipp

ANTRIM will face Munster champions Tipperary in the All-Ireland U21 hurling championship semi-final after overcoming a skilful Armagh side at Casement Park last night.

The Orchardmen trailed by just three points by the 58th minute of a game that was level on five occasions. Antrim can thank the score-taking of man of the match Darren Hamill who finished with a tally of 10 points, six of which came from open play, and full back Cormac Donnelly who played a captain’s role in the second half.

A sluggish Antrim side took a while to get into gear and gradually got into the game with Hamill slotting over two points in quick succession
