Slaughtneil camogie manager Dominic ‘Woody’ McKinley has described what he feels is a ‘disgraceful’ lack of recognition in the wider media for his team as they prepare to create history by winning three consecutive All-Ireland titles when they face Wexford’s St Martin’s in a few weeks. McKinley pointed to the huge numbers attending the last two Ulster finals when Slaughtneil came up against his home club. “In Dungannon there last year there was 4,000 people at the Ulster final,” explained McKinley. There were over 5,500 people, the biggest crowd ever recorded for a camogie match in Ulster. You are talking about a unique group of players.”McKinley insists the commitment from the Slaughtneil players show to their sport surpasses any senior men’s group he has coached.
