Slaughtneil 2-11
St Kiernan’s 0-5
DERRY AND ULSTER champions Slaughtneil booked their place in the last four of the All-Ireland club SFC with a comfortable win over St Kiernan’s in Greenford, London.
Slaughtneil will take on Dublin kingpins St Vincent’s in the semi-final on February 11.
St Kiernan’s trailed by 2-5 to 0-1 at the interval thanks to early goals from Chris Bradley and Meehaul McGrath.
St Kiernan’s, who won their first ever senior title this year, were reduced to 14 men when James Moran was dismissed for a second yellow in the final quarter.
The London champions improved somewhat after the break, scoring four points with Tommy Moriarty on target, but the visitors never looked like losing.
Slaughtneil reeled off scores from Paul Bradley, Shane McGuigan and Sammy Bradley as they cruised to victory in Greenford.

The way I’m reading the whole thing is: corruption and kick backs have been occurring for years and years in a lucrative un-policeable inter-national industry, this was tolerated until oh oh mighty England were overlooked ahead of a random rich non-western country and hence the lash back.
I think Blatter’s dramatic rise and fall may have taken more than 6 days.
