All-Ireland Ladies Finals: ‘This group has serious heart’ – Croke Park joy for Tyrone

Advertisements

But while Tyrone toasted an immensely satisfying triumph, Antrim were left disappointed after being edged out by Louth in the Junior decider.

The Saffrons started strongly, scoring an early goal, but Louth fought back to eventually win 0-13 to 1-8 and deny the Ulster county their fourth title at the grade – and first since 2022.

For joint manager Chris Scullion, it was a case of Antrim not taking their chances in the second half.

“It just didn’t fall our way today. It seemed to be mistake after mistake sometimes and we were constantly trying to regroup the girls to go again, go again,” said Scullion, who leads the team alongside Michael Devlin.

“It maybe took a toll on them, but I’m not taking anything away from Louth. Louth were brilliant today. They set up defensively, kept their same structure and they were able to break out and it caused us problems.

“They were able to work the ball around and get their scores. Fair play to them.”
