ANTRIM and Derry face off in this year’s Ulster SHC semi-final at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds in Armagh in a provincial clash of the ash.
Cushendall and Slaughtneil, two juggernauts of Ulster club hurling, will go toe-to-toe once more to fight it out for a place in the Ulster final against Portaferry in December.
Cushendall looked mostly comfortable in the Antrim SHC this year until it got to the semi-final, where they needed extra time to beat St John’s and book their place in Ballycastle.
Dunloy ran them close in the final but Ruairí Óg held their nerve to take a second successive Antrim title and book their spot in the provincial championship.
Slaughtneil had a far more straightforward trip to the semi-final, dominating Derry once again and winning their 12th title on the bounce with a 14-point margin against Banagher.
As the two sides lock horns again, we’re reminded of last year’s Ulster final, where Cushendall ran out victorious by four points over their rivals from Derry.
