The Galway champions set the tone in the first period, taking a 0-6 to 0-3 lead into the break with sisters Orlaith and Siobhan McGrath nailing all of their scores. But Slaughtneil came like they always would and, with time running out, Sars were on the back foot again.
In injury time, with the Ulster lynchpins 0-9 to 0-8 ahead, it was another McGrath combination that won the All-Ireland.
Niamh McGrath found Orlaith McGrath who found a way the whole to the goalmouths through two tackles before she found her sister Siobhan to do the rest and rescue the club from another defeat at the hands of Slaughtneil.
Just like in the intermediate final, the senior decider came down to a last-gasp goal and Sarsfields clung on for dear life to see it out.
Slaugnteil had a right to feel hard done by when a free wasn't given at the death, when it looked warranted, but it's hard to begrudge Sarsfields their success and the sight of father and daughter, Siobhan and Michael McGrath - manager and star player - embracing at the end was enough to warm the heart of any GAA person.
