Queen's Uni 0-16 Antrim 1-11: Queen's University carved out a two-point win at Casement Park in the final Group C game last night.

The result puts Queen's level with Cavan at the top of the table, but they missed out on score average.

Antrim, after a two-minute blitz from the 20th minute during which they rifled home a goal and three points - Conor Murray hitting the net - they led by 1-7 to 0-7 at half-time. Immediately on the resumption Murray added another point, but they then went to sleep.

From there to the finish it was all Queen's, with Antrim adding only two more points.
