A new jersey specification comes into effect this Sunday when Slaughtneil meet Loughrea in their All-Ireland senior club hurling semi-final in Parnell Park.

Slaughtneil will wear a slightly changed jersey to ensure the numbers on their back are legible. The maroon numbers on a maroon and white hooped background have been notoriously difficult to read but jersey manufacturers McKeever have designed a kit featuring a white block background.
