Honourable Antrim are deserving finalists

WELL, we did get some decent football at the weekend.

Once again pride of place goes to the men of Antrim who, by defeating Cavan, have now qualified for their first Ulster final in 39 years, a superb achievement by a Division 4 county.

I’m delighted for Antrim. I have always found them very honourable and supportive of the GAA in its totality. When the Tommy Murphy Cup was introduced, Antrim were one of the very few counties that gave it full recognition – they weren’t roaring about being treated as second class citizens and all that nonsense.
