Antrim continued their dominant form in the Ulster U20 Hurling Cup with a convincing victory over Donegal, maintaining their unbeaten run as they head towards the final.

Antrim took control from the opening whistle, with Conor Donnelly and Roan McGarry finding the range early. The clinical free-taking of Charlie McAuley and regular points from Liam McEnhill kept the scoreboard moving.

The first-half goals came at crucial intervals; Conor Donnelly found the net at the 9-minute mark, followed by a second goal from Oisin McCamphill just before the break. Despite Donegal’s efforts to stay in touch, Antrim went into the interval with a commanding lead.

Second Half

The second half saw Antrim utilize their bench to great effect, resulting in a scoring surge that took the game completely out of Donegal’s reach. Oisin Gillan was particularly impressive, netting a hat-trick of goals in a devastating 10-minute spell.

Further goals from Oisin McCallion, James McDonnell, and Oisin Woodhouse highlighted the depth of the Saffron attack. Donegal managed a few points from frees, but they were unable to breach a disciplined Antrim defense.
