Kildalkey started well and a goal from Padraig Keogh and a point from young Evan Fitzgerald got the blues up and running. Further points followed from Sean Heavey Eoin Potterton Luke Rickard and 4 Conor Kearney frees  but Dunboyne kept in touch mainly from Kildalkey's indiscipline with 5 of their 6 points coming from placed balls with Sean Quigley accurately slotting them over.

Sean Heavey got the ball rolling in the second half with a long range score.
