Slaughtneil maintained their winning at home to Newbridge on Tuesday

night.

Mark Doran’s side set the tone early on and kicked on after Newbridge

drew back on level terms early in the second half.

The Emmet’s are guaranteed second spot and have a bye this weekend

ahead of the quarter-finals.

For Newbridge, they need to win at home to Magherafelt on Saturday

evening (5.30pm), in the final round of games, to be guaranteed a spot

in the last eight.

A Steelstown win at Ballinderry and a Kilrea win over Loup – games

played at the same time – mean Newbridge must win. It’s that simple.

The Emmet’s held possession after winning the throw-in, showing the

patience before Shane McGuigan kicked the opening point.

Ruairí Ó Mianáin cracked home a 12th minute goal to give Slaughtneil a

1-3 to 0-1 lead.

Newbridge were back in the game by half time when Callum McGrogan found

the home net with five minutes to the break, making the score 1-5 to

1-3.

Points from Callum McGrogan and Sean Young brought the sides level

before Slaughtneil pushed on again.

Substitute Eoin Mulholland, Christopher Bradley, Jerome and Sé McGuigan

added scores to open a four-point lead on the way to a Slaughtneil

win.
