Andy McEntee has hailed the character shown by his Antrim team after they sealed a home Tailteann Cup quarter-final thanks to a seven-point win over Fermanagh in the Box-It Athletic Grounds last weekend.
The Saffrons needed only a draw to top Group Four ahead of their Ulster rivals, but late goals from Oisin Doherty and Ruairi McCann saw them progress to the knockout stage in fine style with three wins from three.
It has been an impressive upturn in fortunes for Antrim, who endured some tough defeats in the League before a nine-point loss to Armagh in the Ulster SFC preliminary round.
