Chrissy McKaigue stars as Slaughtneil prevail

AIB All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final

From centre-back, McKaigue destroyed the Dublin champions, out-scoring his man by four points to one in Pairc Esler, three in the second half, to set up an All-Ireland final against Dr Crokes.

Slaughtneil’s admirable collective spirit and ability to keep possession in an exciting finish made them deserving winners, but McKaigue’s fingerprints were all over it.
