Crunch Senior Hurling Championship tie

Kevin Lynch’s are the defending champions

Slaughtneil v Kevin Lynch’s
Sunday July 29, Lavey, 5.45pm

All Banagher eyes will be on the second part of the double-header at Lavey as Slaughtneil and Kevin Lynch’s battle it out for a semi-final showdown against Banagher.

Slaughtneil have led the way at the head of the division one league ladder, securing eight wins from nine games and having laid claim to the title last weekend to add to the Ulster Club league title they picked up earlier in the year.

They’ve been going extremely well on all fronts, having integrated a number of players from their successful minor teams.

When Slaughtneil and Kevin Lynch’s met in the league back in May, it was Slaughtneil who ran out convincing winners on a 3-15 to 0-6 scoreline. The two sides were due to meet again earlier this month, but the game was conceded by the Dungiven side.

Slaughtneil were also in impressive form in their last outing in the league when they hit Ballinascreen for 5-10 to just 1-13 in reply.
