The lads continued their dominance with a goal from Keith Farry after a good pass from Mark Boland and determined work from Conor Brady resulted in a good score from Paul Finnerty. To start the second half, Conor Brady and Coolera exchanged a point each before Ricki McMunn, on his eagerly awaited comeback, finished a lovely goal into the bottom left-hand corner. Coolera pulled one back before Mark Boland scored a well-taken free. Donal Finneran and the opposition scored two points each, Finneran's scores resulting from his own hard work.
