Dunloy now have belief they can find Holy Grail

IT’s all in the head now. Or at least that is the belief of Dunloy captain Gary O’Kane as he counts down to the St. Patrick’s Day meeting with Birr in the AIB club hurling decider.

In 1990, the north Antrim club won its first ever senior hurling title; the first baby step on the quest for the Holy Grail of club competition. They won in Ulster before losing to Glenmore of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Seven times since then they’ve made that journey but never once have they prevailed. Yet here they are again, once more on the threshold of glory.
