Both teams struggled to gain a foothold in early proceedings and after 15 minutes, it was level at 2 points apiece. Declan Reilly accounted for the opening score before Paddy McDermott opened his account.

Paddy McDermott continued to take the game to the Bohermeen outfit and finished with 1-5 to his name. Stephen Flattery lit up the encounter despite the drab conditions with 3 superbly-taken simultaneous points in the second half.

Cormac Yore clipped out a point with sweetly struck drive before Cian Gillic squeezed over a beauty from the tightest of angles. It wasn’t a night for the faint hearted as the rain thundered down but in fairness to both sides, they served up an encounter full of grit, determination and effort from start to finish.
