Antrim travel to the half way venue of Technological University (TU), Blanchardstown to meet familiar rivals, Waterford on Sunday for the semi final of the All Ireland Minor A Shield. Both sides met on Sunday 2nd March in Abbotstown for the round robin stage but that was on the 3G surface with a blustery wind that swept the sliotar ahead of chasing players.
The fast pace of the game led to eight goals in total, four apiece, but it was Antrim that leaned harder into the rucks over the last quarter of the game and profited from cruising six additional points over Waterford’s bar to end Waterford 4-10 Antrim 4-16.
This will be a tougher test for Antrim as they await the outcome of a fitness test for an injured player but they have depth on the bench and with both teams meeting on grass, it should prove to be a terrific game and likely to have management pacing the technical areas for the duration of the match. This one will be too close to call.
