Slaughtneil edge Kilcoo to complete magnificent treble

No club has ever won the clean sweep of provincial senior football, camogie, and hurling titles in the one season, but the Derry champions held their nerve and were never behind against Kilcoo in a high-quality Ulster football final.

Four unanswered points in as many minutes just before the break gave them a 0-9 to 0-5 interval lead and while Kilcoo owned the third quarter, they couldn’t get the equalising score which could have made things very interesting.
