Antrim set for Croker final

The game throws in at noon with Antrim facing last year's beaten finalists Waterford who are focussed on making up for last year's loss.

Under the management of Michael McCullough, Antrim have made no secret of their desire to win the Ulster Championship and the Junior All Ireland.

With the Ulster championship in the bag following a last gasp winner against Derry in June, they are 60 minutes from achieving those goals.

In fact Antrim, in 2010, have turned nail biting finishes into an art form.

A late Jane Adams goal deep in injury time won the Ulster final while in the group stages of the All Ireland Championship they held on for a draw in the rain in July against Laois and managed to get through the semi final against old rivals Down by one point to book their place in the All Ireland final.

The Antrim team is driven by a never say die spirit and a strong bond between players from eight different clubs, from Loughgiel in north Antrim to Rossa and St John's in Belfast.
