Henry Shefflin leads awestruck tributes to those mighty men and women of Slaughtneil

On Sunday, history was made.

Robert Emmet's Slaughtneil, that wee club at the foot of the Glenshane mountain, became the first ever club to win the senior men's Ulster football and hurling titles, and the Ulster camogie final. On Sunday, Mickey Moran guided the club to their second Ulster football title in three years. That's some going when you consider that before Moran's arrival, in 2014, Slaughtneil had never claimed even a solitary Ulster football title in their three decades of existence. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/803020029256171520 Following the Derry side's 0-12 to 0-9 victory over Kilcoo, the tributes started pouring in. Top of the queue was Kilkenny hurling legend Henry Shefflin: https://twitter.com/ShefflinHenry/status/802975532031901696 It was a long queue. Here is just a brief taste of the acclamation and adulation. https://twitter.com/PaulineMcMullan/status/803024103129186304 https://twitter.com/MartyM_RTE/status/802952249240645633 https://twitter.com/AIB_GAA/status/802991675781980160 This is what got them here.
