Antrim SFC final: Cargin regain the MacNamee Cup

October 21, 2018

Michael and Paul McCann celebrate a Cargin win

Cargin claimed their third Antrim SFC title in four years at Aoghill today.

Scores were in short supply as Erin’s Own edged out Creggan Kickhams by 0-5 to 0-4.

As the scoreline suggests, both defences were very much on top throughout the contest.

The sides were deadlocked on two points apiece at the halfway stage.

Michael McCann sent over what proved to be the winning score for the team in green and white in the 52nd minute.
