This was the first game after the Junior cert. break, and after a good challenge game in Thomastown the previous week the lads were well set up for a good performance in this must-win game.

Good combined play brought score after score, with fine points in this period from James Gordon, Brian Murphy, Shane Birney, Johnny Campbell, Stephen Corrigan and Feargal Hynes. Half-time score: Shels 0-10: Rapparees 0-1. Although we let the pace dip somewhat in the opening period of the second half we remained well on top.
