ANTRIM COUNTY BOARD have become the first to take decisive action ahead of this weekend’s predicted weather event with Storm Boelo arriving, by postponing Sunday’s senior hurling final to 1 November.
Winds of up to 75mph are expected in areas of the north, and with Ballycastle set to host the meeting of Cuchullains Dunloy and Ruairí Óg Cushendall, it would have made conditions dangerous.

The game will now take place on Sunday 1 November.
