Conor Grimes rises to the occasion as Louth go up

Louth 3-12 Antrim 1-14: Louth manager Colin Kelly admitted he wasn’t surprised that the big man with the big reputation delivered for the Wee County in spectacular fashion.

Conor Grimes, still just 21, but standing well over six feet and weighing in at heavyweight status, powered through Antrim’s defence for the game’s decisive 70th-minute goal.

The sides were level at that stage when Grimes took on the responsibility and barged in along the right endline, playing a neat one-two with Ruairi Moore, before blasting to the Antrim net.
