SHC Final: Kevin Lynch’s 0-11 Slaughtneil 0-23

Game recap

A dominant second-half performance at a blustery Celtic Park saw Slaughtneil secure their eighth successive Leadon Timberframe Derry SHC crown on Sunday.

Captain Cormac O’Doherty notched 0-12 for the Ulster champions as they overcame a slow start against a stiff breeze to muscle their way past the Kevin Lynch’s challenge.

The sides were level at half-time, 0-7 apiece, but with the wind advantage in the second period, Robert Emmett’s never looked like losing their crown.
