A late second half goal from Conor Matthews sealed a 1-13 to 0-8 victory for Hunterstown Rovers at home to Oliver Plunketts in Division 2.

Kilkerley eased into a 0-13 to 0-7 lead in the second half but had to survive a Joes revival as the David Kieran found the net for the visitors. However, a late score from Shane Lennon settled the issue in favour of the Emmets.

However, the Barrs turned the game on its head in the second half as goals from Jack Butterly, Williams Woods and a Bernard Osborne penalty saw them take control.

Stephen Healy pulled a goal back for the Emmets but it was too late to save the game.

Meanwhile, O Raghallaighs staged an impressive comeback to record a 2-12 to 2-10 win at home to St Fechins.
