Terence "Sambo" McNaughton (born 1965) is an Irish former hurler who played as a left wing-back at senior level for the Antrim county team.
As a member of the Ulster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, McNaughton ended his career without a Railway Cup medal.
Having coached at almost every grade with Ruarí Óg, he also took charge of the Antrim minor, under-21 and senior teams as joint manager.
Cushendall failed to retain the title once again, however, McNaughton collected a third championship medal in 1987 following a defeat of O'Donovan Rossa.
It was a successful debut year as he secured an All-Ireland medal in the "B" grade as Antrim narrowly defeated London by 3–17 to 3–14.
Antrim retained their All-Ireland title in 1982, with McNaughton collecting a second winners' medal following another narrow 2–16 to 2–14 defeat of London.
Offaly, in spite of losing, recognised the historic nature of the victory and applauded Antrim while lining up in a guard of honour as the team left the field.
The game was a one-sided affair from start to finish, with Tipp's Nicky English setting a new scoring record by bagging 2–12 in the 4–24 to 3–9 victory.
Four-in-a-row proved beyond Antrim, however, a 0–24 to 0–11 drubbing of reigning champions Down in 1993 gave McNaughton a fourth Ulster medal.
Antrim lost their provincial crown in 1995, however, McNaughton won a sixth and final Ulster medal in 1996 as Down were defeated once again by 1–20 to 2–12.
Before he took up that appointment McNaughton also took charge of a combined Ulster hurling team for Fitzgibbon Cup inter-university competition.
McNaughton and McKinley's opening season as managers got off to a good start as Antrim beat London,[4] and then trounced Down by 2–24 to 0–4 to win the Ulster final.
A system of seeding designed to reduce the number of one-sided matches left Antrim's first game a semi-final against Derry, which they won 2–17 to 1–12.
[10] McNaughton and McKinley's team got little reward for this provincial victory due to the introduction of a new format for the All-Ireland championship.
Antrim then had to play a relegation play-off against Laois, to ensure that they remained eligible to compete in the All-Ireland series in 2009.
However, McNaughton and the managers of the other teams involved in the play-offs appealed to the GAA's Disputes Resolution Authority,[18] who took the decision to postpone the relegation final until a future date.
