North Antrim MLA Sean Farren has congratulated the Antrim Senior hurling team
after their convincing victory over Carlow in yesterday’s Christy Ring Cup
Final in Croke Park.
Mr Farren stated:
“It was a pleasure
to be in Croke Park yesterday to see Antrim win a senior hurling title and I
extend my warmest congratulations to Jim McKernan, his selectors and the entire
panel. Although in the end it proved to be something of a mismatch Antrim set out
with the goal of winning the competition from the beginning and they have
delivered on that.
Like many other people I am sure that this confidence boosting victory will help the team as they step back up to competing in the Liam McCarthy competition next year. It is crucial for Antrim and hurling in Ulster that they play in hurling’s premier championship. I am sure that they will be looking forward to and preparing for that challenge.”
