Ten years ago Bakers Boys faced Tyrone in the Ulster final in Clones. Rank outsiders that day as well the Saffrons put up a brave display, but lost in the end by six points. (we would brobably settle for that tomorrow evening in Armagh)
Here we take a pictorial look back at that hot summer day in Clones, through photos I took for the Ballymena Times, the crowds, the colour, the joy and the heartbreak.

THE FANS


Alastair Scullion from Glenravel, who played on the Antrim team that contested the county’s last Ulster final back in 1970, was in Clones on Sunday with his son Ciaran to cheer on the Saffrons. BT29-173CS

THE FOOTBALL
As the great Kevin Casman once wrote “it ended in defeat of course, as the poets and Gods prefer” but we all had memories to store for life






Antrim stewards, some of them no longer with us, who were there on the day and of course our good friend Seamus Loughran capturing the images fro the Irish News
