St. Michaels 4-15, Ballinabrackey 3-13.

St. Michaels would have been forgiven for thinking they were home and hosed when leading by 4-8 to 1-2 at the interval of this match played in Carlanstown on Tuesday evening, but the half time break seemed to have focused the visitors minds on the job in hand and in a 15 minute spell right from the restart the outscored the hosts 2-7 to 0-3 to reduce the deficit to 5 points.                        St. Michaels made a brilliant start with a goal apiece from Corey McGivern and Cian Sheridan, Sheridan who was on fire throughout this match added a further 4 first half points. Patrick Tobin and Caolan McConnell bagged a goal apiece midway through the opening half to send St. Michaels in at the break leading 4-8 to 1-2.

A more determined Ballinabrackey side came out for the second half and although they narrowed the gap to 5 points the home side regained their composure in a five minute spell towards the end of the second half when Ewan Moran, Ciaran O'Reilly, Corey McGivern and Cian Sheridan were all on target to secure the two points.
