Antrim surprised at Dawson's 'reluctant' departure

The Antrim County Board have expressed their 'surprise and disappointment' at Frank Dawson's decision to resign as the Saffrons' senior football manager.

Dawson was ratified for a second season in charge in August, with the board giving him their backing despite Antrim suffering relegation to Division 4 and losing to both Monaghan and Louth in the Championship.
