St. Michaels 0-10
Oldcastle 2-09

A lacklustre first half display by St. Michaels, which resulted in the concession of two first half goals by Thomas Rahill and Robert Farrelly saw the home side come out easy winners in this match in Millbrook. Oldcastle were first to score with a pointed free after 3 minutes and they added their two goals on the 8th and 23rd minutes of the first half. Ciaran Lynch was the sole marksman for St. Michaels in the first half with 4 points, 3 from frees to leave the visitors trailing by 0-4 to 2-7 at the break.

Gordon Ward's half time talk worked wonders as a different St. Michaels side took to the pitch for the second half, they registered 6 points to the home side's 2 points, and they looked a much more determined side than in the first half. Ciaran Lynch's missed a penalty after 5 minutes of the restart may have put a different complexion on the match had he converted it.

Second half points from Brendan Ryan ( 1 ), Ciaran Lynch ( 3 ) and Daithi Regan ( 2 ), who made his return as a sub after injury put some respectability on the scoreboard for the visitors.
