Antrim hurling is heading in the right direction, according to former Saffrons star and current Dunloy manager Gregory O’Kane.

Currently putting the finishing touches to Dunloy’s preparations for Sunday’s Antrim SHC decider against Cushendall, O’Kane believes the Saffrons have benefitted greatly from their participation in the Joe McDonagh Cup.

“The county scene has gone nearly all or nothing with lads putting so much effort and time into it,” he pointed out to the Irish Daily Star.

“Definitely for Antrim, there has been green shoots, the Joe McDonagh Cup has been a huge success for Antrim.

“The quality of games Antrim are getting.

“All you have to do is look at Laois going on beating Dublin before dying with their boots on against Tipperary.”
