Three years ago they lost by five points to Loughgiel Shamrocks in the decider before being defeated after extra-time by Cushendall last year.<\/p>\n

But those disappointments were erased with Slaughtneil\u2019s historic victory today. <\/p>\n

Their success is all the more impressive considering that they won the Derry senior football title last Sunday, completing three-in-a-row at that level.<\/p>\n

After reaching the All-Ireland club football final last year, they face Fermanagh\u2019s Derrygonnelly Harps at the quarter-final stage in Ulster next Sunday.<\/p>\n

Slaughtneil got off to a terrific start with goals from Cormac O\u2019Doherty and Brendan Rogers putting them in front 2-3 to 0-0 after 10 minutes. Loughgiel fought back but by half-time they still trailed by seven points, 2-8 to 0-7.<\/p>\n

A Joey Scullion goal for Loughgiel cut the deficit they faced to 2-11 to 1-9 with 14 minutes left. But Slaughtneil closed out the game in style with O\u2019Doherty, who finished with 1-9, and Chrissy McKaigue, who struck 0-3, both to the fore.<\/p>\n
