ANTRIM SHC FINAL/Loughgiel Shamrocks 1-11 Cuchullians, Dunloy 1-7:ALL-IRELAND CLUB champions Loughgiel completed a three in a row of Antrim senior hurling titles with a four-point win at Casement Park on Saturday night.
Loughgiel were never headed after Liam Watson opened the scoring and the reigning champions were worth their 0-4 to no score after 12 minutes.
Dunloy then began to grind their way into the game and it was 1-4 apiece at the break. Within 10 seconds of the restart Loughgiel had regained the lead and although Dunloy brought it back to within a point it always looked like Loughgiels night.
