REACTION: Antrim & Armagh are CHAMPS! | ‘It felt different this year!’ | OFF THE BALL

Author: OTB Sports August 9, 2026 Duration: 17:41

Antrim are All-Ireland Intermediate champions, and Stephen Gleeson is at Croke Park with Rachel Sheehan as the Saffrons storm to a 1-22 to 0-11 point win over Laois. Roisin McCormick’s goal on 40 minutes proves the turning point, as Antrim’s work rate and defence set the tone from the first whistle.

Hear reaction from the winning camp & losing camp as Caitriona Graham & Elaine Dowds reflect on a season that started back in November, the standards that drove them, and the impact of losing key player Katie Molloy at half-time.

Plus, commiserations and pride from Laois captain Amy Collier, and a second final thriller as Armagh edge Cavan to finally shake off years of heartbreak.

Armagh claimed the junior title with a narrow victory over Cavan - you'll hear from Corinna Doyle, PJ Mullen, Gemma McCann on the Armagh front & then it's over to Philip Brady from Cavan to wrap up!
