Slaughtneil romped to a facile 19-point victory over Portaferry in Corrigan Park last Sunday to set up a fascinating rematch with Antrim champions Dunloy, who defeated Cushendall at the Belfast venue last month.

However, despite winning four successive Antrim titles, the Cuchullain’s have yet to make their mark on the provincial stage and have lost their last three meetings against Slaughtneil, including last year’s semi-final at the Athletic Grounds.
