Slaughtneill (Derry) 1-10 0-11 Sarsfields (Galway)
There were joyous scenes in Croke Park today as Slaughtneill defeated Sarsfields in a gripping contest, to capture their first ever All-Ireland senior camogie title.
A Mary Kelly goal proved to be the decisive score in the end, as the Derry and Ulster champions prevailed in the first of the two All-Ireland deciders featuring teams from their club.
The footballers will do battle against Dr Crokes in their All-Ireland decider on St Patrick's day.
Celebrations ensued after the final whistle:

Some shift by Slaughtneil. Fair play to Eilis Ní Chasaide on that last score - especially wonderful to see those girls win it
