Scotstown win cracker and add to Slaughtneil woes

Their hurlers lost out after extra-time in the hurling club championship final last Sunday and the footballers surrendered their provincial crown yesterday to a hungrier Scotstown in this totally absorbing contest, played in greasy conditions in Clones.
It was end-to-end stuff throughout with Slaughtneil perhaps a little ponderous at times in their approach while Scotstown’s more direct football paid dividends with Ciaran Hughes keeping them organised at the back and his brother Darren leading the charge up front.
