Miscellaneous

[edit]
  • This was the final Ulster Championship before the Covid-hit 2020 season where defeat meant elimination from the All-Ireland Championship.[11] [12]
  • Antrim's victory over Down in the Quarter-final on 28 May was played during a thunder-storm in Belfast[13]. It was Antrim's first win in the Ulster SFC since their win over Cavan in 1982.
