Micheal Scullion and Gráinne McGoldrick clash over who'll win the Ulster Camogie Final
Antrim hurley maker Micheal Scullion will have a foot in both camps for the Ulster Camogie final this Sunday.

He'll be supporting his native Antrim of course, but Micheal will also be keeping a close eye on Derry's All Star forward, Gráinne McGoldrick who uses his hurls exclusively.

Although Scullion Hurls are based in the camogie heartland of Loughgiel in Antrim, Micheal supplies his hand finished hurleys to Derry's Gráinne McGoldrick.

Micheal explains: "I've been supplying hurls to Gráinne's club Eoghan Rua for a while now, and I was delighted to hear that Gráinne was using our sticks exclusively, so we're giving a good supply to keep her going for a while.

"It's nice for a small family business that such a high quality and skillful player gives our product this vote of confidence. Gráinne is a great role model for other players so we wish her all the best on Sunday. I hope too that we get the right result for Antrim," he laughed.

Gráinne said: " I've been using Scullion Hurls for a while now. For balance and the weight of the stick they suit me perfectly. They are really well finished and they are a consistent size and shape."

Whatever the outcome on Sunday, Scullion Hurls should have reason to celebrate.
