Derry SHC final/Kevin Lynch's 4-9 Slaughtneil 1-9: A first-half four-goal salvo saw Kevin Lynch's, Dungiven, retain their crown at Banagher on Saturday. Dungiven were on top in nearly every department with Barry Kelly and Paul Sweeney superb in defence, Feidhlim Kelly and Kevin Hinphey edging the battle at midfield and Aaron McCloskey, Fergal McGuigan and Geoffrey McGonigle providing the cutting edge.
