The Mal's forwards really got to work in the second half as the goals came thick and fast as Ronan Greene, Niall Dowdall and Donal Begley all found the net to leave the Shelagh side sitting pretty at the summit of division three. The Gaels remain second from bottom on two points.

The Finnbarr's maintained their 100% record with a comprehensive victory over an under par St Kevins side. Goals from William Woods and Darren McConnon gave the Finnbarr's a comfortable advantage early on as the Kevins struggled to match their opponents all over the pitch.
