Lenny Harbinson has been appointed manager of the Antrim footballers. The former county player who managed St Gall's of Belfast to the 2010 All-Ireland club title was ratified by the county committee on Monday night after being recommended by the county's review group, made up of former Antrim players Alec McQuillan, Paul McErlean and Ciarán Hamill.

He has been appointed for three years with an annual review and succeeds Frank Fitzsimmons.
