Dunloy are Ulster champions for the first time in 23 years, after a hardfought 1-10 to 0-11 victory over Clonduff of Down. This was in spite of a late comeback from the Mourne outfit, who appeared in their first ever senior provincial decider.
Eobha McAllister continued her dream year. With U23B and intermediate All-Ireland titles already in the bag at intercounty level, she scored the crucial goal as Dunloy secured their spot in the AIB All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-finals.
There, they will face the Leinster champions on 29th November. That will either be Kilkenny’s Dicksboro, or St Martin’s of Wexford, who came through Saturday’s semi-finals in the eastern province.
Dicksboro had enough to see off St Vincent’s in a tight contest, with county star Aoife Prendergast leading the charge for the victors.
Meanwhile, Aoife O’Connor raised two green flags for St Martin’s, in a dominant 3-24 to 0-7 win away to Shinrone of Offaly.
In the AIB Leinster Intermediate Championship semi-finals, Naas overcame Knockananna, 2-17 to 1-11, and Clonkill defeated Emeralds, 2-12 to 1-12.

Crookedwood edged Clough-Ballacolla, 1-9 to 0-10 in the Junior A finale, while St Kevin’s of Louth retained their Junior B title, seeing off Aughrim, 3-12 to 1-5.
