Antrim GAA welcomed the 2023 Ulster U17 and U20 Hurling Champions to Dunsilly Hotel on Friday evening.

The players were joined on the night by their management teams and families to celebrate winning Ulster Titles in both age grades.

Antrim Chairman Séamus McMullan and Senior Hurling Manager Darren Gleeson opened proceedings as they spoke about the fantastic progress being made at underage within the county, the importance of providing the pathway from underage to senior level and congratulated the players and management teams on their achievements during 2023.

Managers Alan Rainey (Minor) and Paudie Shivers (U20) then provided an overview of their respective seasons and thanked the players and parents for all their efforts in 2023.

The evening provided a fitting end to the 2023 season with all eyes now firmly fixed on keeping both Ulster Titles in the Glens of Antrim in 2024.
