  • After extra-time had ended in a deadlock, a shootout was required to decide who would proceed to the final. With the score standing at 10-10 in sudden death and Lámh Dhearg forward and former county star Paddy Cunningham about to attempt to put his side back in front, Antrim chairman Ciaran McCavana ran onto the pitch and told him that that would be it for tonight. Another replay was called by the chairman after consenting both managers.
