O'Mahony's 2-12
Wolfe Tones 0-11

O'Mahony's emerged with the points on Wednesday evening in a competitive match played in ideal conditions in Kilberry.

A slow start by the Wolfe Tones proved to be the difference as they found themselves 1-4 to 0-0 in arrears after 17 minutes. Despite reducing the deficit to 3 points on five separate occasions, O'Mahony's kept the Tones at arm's length and when Jake Regan goaled on 51 minutes the game was put beyond doubt.

After a poor start, Tones eventually found their feet and dominated the second quarter, outscoring O'Mahony's 0-5 to 0-1 to go in at half time just one goal adrift. Cian Ward sent over three 45s while Niall McLoughlin and Niall O'Reilly added a point apiece. Half time 1-5 to 0-5.

There was little to choose between the two sides in the second half and the game was still in the melting pot before Tones were caught on a counter attack which ended with Jake Regan fisting to the net following a long delivery into the square.

Wolfe Tones: David Nolan, Sean Moriarty, David Coleman, Shane Glynn, Conor Sheppard, Stephen Sheppard (0-2), Eanna Harrington, Stephen Corrigan, Niall O'Reilly (0-2), Brughach O Fionnagain, Cian Ward (0-4, 3 45s, 1f), Paul Byrne, Ciaran McLoughlin, Niall McLoughlin (0-2), Alan Fox (0-1). Subs used: Aonghus McLoughlin for Brughach O Fionnagain (23 mins), Christopher Blaney for Ciaran McLoughlin (42 mins), Gary McFadden for Paul Byrne (52 mins).
