Kevin Quinn arís.

So much for McEniff saying we'd a good minor team this year!

Apparently Antrim's Ryan Murray is the standout player.

Tyroneman - the minors are playing the week before the seniors because the southern minor teams don't play in June as they're doing their leaving cert. Pain in the feckin hole imho. There's no such equivalint rule in the north

Antrim well deserving of their win today much the better team if the donegal management would of picked the best team available to them might of been different story

[Milltown Row2]

Good win by Antrim away, the minors over the years have put up good results and can compete with the rest

[sheamy]

Fair dues to Antrim. Great result for them. Any post mortem from the Donegal lads? They'd have been hot favourites for this, would they not?

[Onlooker]

Very good win for Antrim, especially playing away from home.  Am I right in saying that Donegal were expected to go well in the Ulster Championship.

Murray inspirational as able Antrim progress

Donegal 1-07 Antrim 2-09

ANTRIM proved much too strong for Donegal in Ballybofey yesterday. Thanks to a man-of-the-match display from Ryan Murray, they were in control for much of the game, leading by 1-06 to 0-05 at the break.

Murray blazed an early penalty over the bar, but then set up Kevin Quinn for the opening goal on 12 minutes and from there on Antrim were never threatened.

Donegal relied on the boot of Patrick McBrearty, who later came on as a substitute for the seniors against Antrim, to stay in touch as they played second fiddle at midfield. Donegal's hopes of a comeback were dashed when Quinn and Murray combined 10 minutes from the end for Quinn to fire home the second goal.

Donegal got a goal back when McBrearty bundled home with five minutes left, but Antrim hit back with Murray fisting over a reply.

McBrearty hit a post 10 minutes into the second half but apart from that, they never looked likely to overcome the Antrim side.
