GAA: Slaughtneil win Derry SFC title

Slaughtneil made it three-in-a-row as they defeated The Loup in the Derry Senior Football Championship decider before a crowd of over 4,300 at a wet Celtic Park this afternoon.

The holders led 1-6 to 0-3 at the end of a first half in which they were clearly on top with Chrissy McKaigue and Paul Bradley to the fore.

Slaughtneil were sharper in front of goal and only had two wides while Loup had seven in the first half.

They continued to dominate in the second half and in the end won by 2-11 to 0-6.
