Bective 3-11
Kilmainham 2-4
Bective started this game at a fast pace and raced into an early lead with two quick points from the impressive Michael Lyness, and held the lead through-out this game played in Kilberry. Looking much sharper and focussed Bective took the game to Kilmainham and were rewarded with a fine goal bagged by Shane Barry after a fast attacking move. Bective notched up 1 - 6 to 1 point at half time.
In the second half, Bective kept up the pressure but Kilmainham won an early penalty and brought them to within 5 points. However Bective kept to their game plan and continued to add on the points. Now Bective were awarded a penalty when Shane Barry was fouled and Michael Lyness slotted home. Kilmainham scored their second major in a goal mouth scramble but it merely dented the lead and Bective kicked on with further points. Then a spectacular goal volleyed from 20 yards by Mark Walsh closed out this game and Bective eased to a 10 point win. This was an excellent team performance from Bective and sets up a quarter final spot if they win their final match.
