Since they won the intermediate, is that a final, a semi final and now a title in three years?

Final quarter final and champions.

There was someone here earlier on in the year posted " anytime Dunloy play anyone decent they get swatted aside"

Beat st brigids PG1 and cargin to win it.

UP THE FU##ING DUNLOY!

[NGBlue]

Great to see! As we well know, good things come to an end, I'd say a few boys will hang the boots up in Cargin! Looking forward to seeing Dunloy in Ulster giving zero fecks! Also if my memory strikes me right, Dunloy are known for a good Monday club with updates!

Dunloy good value for the win, they stepped up to the plate when needed taking the tough road to the final.

As so often happens they learned more from the Cargin defeat in the group stages than Cargin did by winning. Goals and 2 pointers are a good mix

[imtommygunn]

The two pointers seem to really suit the Dunloy team. The camogiers giving loughgiel a real game here too.

Well done Dunloy. Enjoy your big night, well deserved. No one has any hard luck stories, you won it being fitter faster, well managed, hungier and no small amount of ballers. Enjoy your night. Lets get behind you now in Ulster.

[Hoof Hearted]

Well done to Dunloy, well deserved best team won
But cargin have been great champions, old heads are good but old legs got caught out by youth today.
Cargin will be back be very surprised of they're not in at least the final this day 12 months.

Cargin will always be in the mix. Too much tradition on top of great structures that keep churning them out. Will always be thereabouts in Antrim Football.

Still the template.

Casements into a minor grade A final after coming from 6 down with 5 mins left, writing their own script as they go along! All round here thought it was easily a year or two too early...

Antrim football needs new blood to improve the standard. A rising tide lifts all boats...

Delighted for Dunloy kings of antrim and king of the 2 pointers

St Johns into a minor B final having played division 1. Surely this cant be acceptable going forward? GNM look very strong at this level having blitzed the league

[AllStar15]

I couldn't believe how wide open Cargin were up through the middle! Dunloy maybe should have had 3/4 more goals.

Cargin did seem leggy but I find it unlikely some of their older players would retire on that performance, that would be more galvanising than it would be career ending. Though I'd say it will be the end of RD.

Darren reffed it well, though the two Cargin pens may have been outside.

Last word goes to Dunloy - threw the shackles off and played with a freedom that would be to the envy of many teams in big games. Fast, fluid, aggressive but most of all quality to take the first title in many moons! 

[belfastsaff]

Cragins Two penalties were fouls. However they were fouls outside of the penalty area - never penos!!

Cargin will regroup and go again. Dunloy could win a few if things pan out...

Would also love to see a possibility of Molloy, elliots and co playing both football and hurling for the county... Could it ever work ?
