ANTRIM and Derry will be going head to head in the Ulster SHC semi-final at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds in Armagh. This match-up between Cushendall and Slaughtneil, two powerhouses in Ulster club hurling, will determine who secures a spot in the Ulster final against Portaferry in December.
Cushendall had a strong showing in the Antrim SHC this season, breezing through until a tough semi-final against St John’s, which required extra time for them to secure a spot in Ballycastle. Despite a close final against Dunloy, Ruairí Óg managed to clinch their second consecutive Antrim title and earn a place in the provincial championship.
On the other hand, Slaughtneil had a relatively easy journey to the semi-final, dominating in Derry and claiming their 12th consecutive title with a comfortable 14-point victory over Banagher.
The upcoming clash between Cushendall and Slaughtneil brings back memories of last year’s Ulster final, where Cushendall emerged victorious with a four-point lead over their Derry rivals.
The highly anticipated Ulster Senior Hurling Championship semi-final between Cushendall and Slaughtneil is set to take place at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds in Armagh on Saturday, November 16, with a throw-in time of 7.15pm.
