'I'm looking for a bit more' — Back-to-back Ulster titles whets Slaughtneil appetite  

“To do back-to-back Ulster Championships is not an easy thing to do and they've done that again with a new generation, in some respects, from the team of 2016 and ’17.”

Slaughtneil made it a sixth Ulster title with a convincing win over St John’s of Antrim in Armagh. It takes the Derry Kingpins into joint second place with Ballycastle the roll of honour. Paul McCormack’s side will now face Galway champions Loughrea as they aim to secure a first ever All-Ireland final berth.

The 10 points from Cormac O’Doherty was one part of the equation but their defence gave the security at the back.
