McKeegan to lead Saffrons at Salthill

Karl McKeegan is to continue in his role as Antrim senior hurling captain, as the managerial reign of Dominic McKinley and Terence McNaughton gets off the ground this weekend.

McKeegan, appointed as skipper by previous manager Jim McKernan, will put the disappointment of Cushendall's All-Ireland championship exit behind him to lead Antrim against Galway in the National League on Sunday (Pearse Stadium, throw-in 2.30pm).
