AIB Ulster Club SHC final: St Joseph’s, Ballycran (Down) 0-10 Robert Emmet’s, Slaughtneil (Derry) 1-14

Slaughtneil continued their dominance of the Ulster Club Hurling Championship with a 1-14 to 0-10 win over Ballycran in Sunday's final at Corrigan Park.

The holders started slowly as Cran led 0-3 to 0-1 but a run of four straight scores just before half-time helped lead Slaughtneil 0-9 to 0-6.

Free-taker Cormac O'Doherty's seventh point extended Slaughtneil's lead to five eight minutes in the second half.

Brendan Rogers' 50th-minute goal ended any slim hopes of a Ballycran comeback.

With the outcome decided, Ballycran finished with 14 men after Gerard Hughes picked up a second yellow card.

Slaughtneil will face either Limerick club Kilmallock or Waterford champions Ballygunner in the All-Ireland semi-final on 23 January
