Antrim LGFA

It is a big weekend for the champions of Antrim LGFA with all three champions involved in the Ulster Club Championship at Senior, Intermediate and Junior.

Today (Saturday) Intermediate champions St Brigid’s travel to Killeavy to take on the Armagh champions in their own back yard, as tough a quarter final task as you could ask for. It is four weeks since the girls won the Antrim title by beating Con Magees Glenravel in the final at Dunsilly. The Musgrave Park side had plenty in hand that day and hopefully they can reproduce that form today in Armagh.

Our Junior Champions Glenavy have home advantage at 2pm today when they take on Armagh Junior Champions St Peter’s Lurgan, a team from just up the road, in the Ulster Quarter Final.

 County star Graine McLaughlin was the star when the Chapel Hill girls beat St John’s in the Antrim final and they will be looking to her again today to provide the scores against their Armagh opponents.

Moneyglass have already taken their first step in their Ulster Club Senior Championship campaign when they beat Armagh Harps in last weekend’s quarter final at Whitehill. Going into the game the Marian Hill girls were outsiders, but they upset the odds with a brilliant display to win by 3-12 to 3-6 and set up tomorrow’s semi-final against Down champions Bredagh. Bredagh are a formidable outfit and once again the St Ergnat’s girls will be the outsiders, but that hasn’t hindered them in any of their games so far and there is no reason why they can’t add another bit of history to the club records.
