Not on Paddy McBrearty's watch, and he near single-handedly halted the Derry side's momentum, and dragged his men back into the game.
It wasn't long before McBrearty's luscious left leg was swinging into gear, and the Slaughtneil defence were terrified.
Kilcar fed their target man, and the Derry lads tried standing off him, they tried getting tight to him, they weren't able to manage him.
He notched his first from play in the 16th minute, doubled his tally in the 17th, and by half-time he had three from play and two frees, and had Kilcar in front.
A whole lot of people were raving.

What could the men in maroon do? At times the 24-year-old held his position and from there he was winning possession. Then, seconds later he would roam out the field and offer himself to his teammates, and slot them over from out the field.
Leading by one at half-time, Kilcar would have felt they could kick on and win this one, especially considering the missed goal chances they had in the first 30 minutes.
Slaughtneil showed just why they're on course for their third Ulster title in four years, with their irrepressible direct running style, and ruthlessness in front of goal, the difference between the sides.
On top of that, their goalkeeper, Antoin McMullan, was displaying reflexes similar to Darren Randolph's in Copenhagen, while at the other end of the field, corner forward Christopher Bradley was a constant menace.

They kicked on to win by six, on a scoreline of 2-17 to 0-17. Paddy McBrearty ended his day with 0-10, with five of the finest coming from open play.
Both sides can hold their heads high, after a producing a mighty spectacle of football. Slaughtneil will take some stopping, though.Mayo star’s Kobe McDonald comments will be bittersweet for Mayo fans
