THE long wait for an Ulster title is over for Dunloy as they finally got the measure of Slaughtneil on Sunday to deny the Derry side a provincial three-in-a-row in Armagh.

With respect to their provincial opponents, the 2022 club championship for Ballygunner was not so much about retaining their Munster title as meeting Ballyhale Shamrocks in the All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday week to prove their late, late final win in February was no fluke.

SLAUGHTNEIL have ruled the roost in Ulster club hurling with four of the last five titles (there was no competition in 2020 due to Covid) so the question is whether Dunloy will be able to end the Derry club’s grip on the Four Seasons Cup when they meet in Sunday’s provincial decider in Armagh’s Athletic Grounds (1.30pm, live on TG4 YouTube).

Dunloy once again come for the champions; will it be fourth time lucky?

Slaughtneil will be looking to avenge the manner of last years decider.
