Champions used the elements in Ballycastle to their advantage in second half to take crown
Cushendall made it back-to-back Antrim Senior Hurling Championship titles as they edged Dunloy 1-16 to 2-12 in Ballycastle on Sunday.
Despite playing into the gale, Cushendall would have been very happy with how things began as they led 0-3 to 0-2 after 10 minutes, with frees from Neil McManus and Dunloy’s Seean Elliott accounting for all the scores. It wasn’t a huge gap considering the wind and they had goalkeeper Ryan Elliott make a stunning save from a McManus penalty. McManus did land the 65 and at the break, this left six between them with Dunloy 1-8 to 0-5 ahead.
