Cushendall made it back-to-back Antrim Senior Hurling Championship titles as they beat Dunloy 1-16 to 2-12 at a storm-hit Ballycastle on Sunday.
Despite playing into the gale, Cushendall would have been very happy with how things began as they led 0-3 to 0-2 after 10 minutes with frees from Neil McManus and Dunloy's Seaan Elliott accounting for all the scores. He could have had another but hit whipped effort was saved for a 65 that Elliott converted with Keelan Molloy then stretching the gap to seven.
It took a while for Cushendall to find their range in the second half, but they began to eat into the lead with McLaughlin, Fred McCurry, Fergus McCambride, Paddy McGill and a monster free from goalkeeper Cononr McAilister bringing them to within one.
