I rise this morning, in what is becoming an annual tradition, to congratulate Robert Emmet's GAC Slaughtneil on its retention of the Ulster Club Senior Hurling Championship title, having won the final on Sunday past. That is its sixth title in nine years, which is an amazing feat for the small south Derry club. I congratulate the club following its emphatic 13-point victory over St John's of Antrim and wish it all the very best in its next game against Galway champions, Loughrea. I know that the people of Slaughtneil are very proud of their team and their club. Their success is the result of an awful amount of commitment and hard work over the past year. I mention in particular my friends the McMullans from Moneysharvan — Patrick, Myra and Jimmy — who will, no doubt, be shouting, "Up the Robbies" for many weeks to come.
