Emma Kelly looks to Division 4 after her Antrim side end 10-year wait for All-Ireland Junior glory

Antrim manager Emma Kelly said their first TG4 All-Ireland Junior title in ten years was down to a superb all-round team performance as they saw off Fermanagh in a replay at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh on Saturday.

Antrim laid the foundation for victory in the opening half, with two early goals helping them lead by 2-05 to 0-06 at the interval and they never looked like relinquishing that advantage after the restart.

"The team performance there was all-round. Nobody had to lift it and drive as they all stepped up to the plate," said Kelly.

"If one person went quiet the other stepped up so it was a good team performance and it was a pity we couldn't get more subs.

"The first goal was a deflection or a slip but made our girls think the luck might be on our side and we could kick on."

And Kelly is determined they won't rest on their laurels and wants to push on from this next year.

"Division 4 will be our target now. Trials start in November and that's it. We have good minors stepping out now and they will be looking to push on to senior so next year's squad could be completely different. That's a good thing as it pushes the rest and makes the whole team better," she added.

Antrim had one hand on the West County Hotel Cup when they struck for goals from Lara Dahunsi and Cathy Carey in the opening seven minutes.

Grainne McLaughlin played a starring role for the victors, turning up the heat on a blistering hot day and top-scoring with eight points, five from play.

It was left to Eimear Smyth to carry the fight for Fermanagh and she kicked seven of her own, but unlike McLaughlin, had little support with Antrim just better in all departments on the day.

Antrim built on their 2-05 to 0-06 interval lead with Caitlín Taggart, Carey and
