It was one-way traffic at Casement Park yesterday as Antrim strolled to a 10-points win over Leitrim. It could have been worse for Leitrim as Antrim shot 18 wides, 11 of them when they had the strong wind in their backs during the first half.

Antrim led 2-6 to 0-2 at the break and when they fired over four more points in the opening 12 minutes of the second half, the contest was over. Both Antrim goals were scored by full forward Demot Niblock, in the 12th and 19th minutes.
