Ruthless Antrim sweep Laois aside in intermediate final
Antrim secured a promotion to the top tier of camogie for 2027 after a dominant second-half performance against Laois in the intermediate final. Key players Róisín McCormick and Eobha McAllister led the scoring, while the Antrim defense remained impenetrable throughout the match.
Why it matters
This victory marks a significant milestone for Antrim's camogie program, highlighting the competitive growth of the sport at the intermediate level.
A dominant, ruthless second-half performance that saw Antrim land 13 out of their 16 attempts on goal from the 34th minute onwards, was enough to draw a line under the county's one-year stint outside the Glen Dimplex Senior Championship and send them back up to top tier camogie for 2027.
Laois have made immense strides forward over the past couple of seasons, securing success in the league, the Leinster championship and last year’s All-Ireland Premier Junior competition. However after landing the significant scalps of Down and Kerry en route to this final, they found the air far too thin at Croke Park once Antrim turned up the intensity in the second half.
