Dunloy shock Slaughtneil to clinch Ulster hurling crown
Last updated 5th Dec 2022
Dunloy have bridged a 13-year gap to lift the Ulster club hurling title.
On Sunday, they saw off holders Slaughtneil 2-12 to 0-16 in a gripping final in Armagh.
Two goals, the opener, an own goal from goalkeeper Oisin O'Doherty and the second a Nigel Elliott effort, saw Dunloy in at the interval with an advantage of 2-6 to 0-7.
Slaughtneil however made a bright start to the second period.
At one stage, they were level, but despite the search, could not grab a goal.
Meehaul McGrath was sent off late on.
Dunloy's two-point victory at the Athletic Grounds denied the Derry champions what would have been a third consecutive Ulster title and a fifth in six years.
