Antrim 3-9 2-7 Offaly

Antrim's Sean Delargy lifted the Walsh Cup at Casement Park

A dominant second-half performance saw Antrim beat Offaly in Sunday's Walsh Cup final at Casement Park.

It is the first time the Leinster pre-season tournament has been won by a county from outside the province.

Francie Kerrigan and Shane Dooley goals had Offaly 2-6 1-6 up at the break with Eddie McCluskey netting for Antrim.

Dooley got Offaly's only point of the second half as goals from McCluskey and Cormac Donnelly plus several Liam Watson points saw Antrim home.
