Antrim will play Dublin Institute of Technology in the Walsh Shield final at Casement Park in Thursday night. DIT were unable to play next weekend and agreed to make the trip to Belfast to have the game played. The Saffrons qualified for the final after a hard fought battle in dreadful conditions against Laois in Rathdowney which was decided by a late point from team captain Neill McManus at the end of extra time.
