Slaughtneil 2-18

Banagher 0-14

Goals from Se McGuigan and Brian Cassidy helped Slaughtneil to a fifth consecutive Derry SHC success at Celtic Park today.

Dungiven were the last team to achieve such a feat in the 1970s. The Emmet's signalled their intent by racing into an early 0-4 to 0-0 lead, but with Darragh Cartin unerring from frees, Banagher trailed by just the minimum, 0-7 to 0-8, at half-time.

But second half majors from McGuigan and Cassidy, combined with a seven-point haul from Brendan Rogers, saw the reigning county and Ulster champions home.
