Second half goals from Seán Ó Caiside and Peter McCullagh helped Slaughtneil to their second victory of the season away to Na Magha on Wednesday night.
H&A SENIOR HURLING LEAGUE
Slaughtneil 2-31
Na Magha 1-11
The home side, with Tim Rankin their chief scorer, had the breeze at their back and led by a point after 26 minutes thanks to a goal from former Slaughtneil player Bliadhan Glass.
By the interval, the visitors were 0-13 to 1-7 ahead and had threatened for goals during the first-half. Fintan McGrath, Prionsias Burke, former skipper Gareth O'Kane and newcomer Peter McCullagh were among the Slaughtneil scorers.
Five minutes into the second half, the Slaughtneil pressure told when Seán Ó Caiside scored the game's first goal with a stroke of luck attached to it.
As the game wore on, Slaughtneil took control of proceedings and Peter McCullagh's goal – his first at senior level – capped off a comfortable away win.
