Rathkenny 0-06
Nobber 0-09

A late scoring burst ensured Nobber came away from Rathkenny with the points in this second round A League Division 2 clash played in Rathkenny last Sunday, February 26th.

Rathkenny opened the scoring through a Murt Donnelly free on three minutes followed up by a Brian Farrell free four minutes later to level matters. It was seventeen minutes before Farrell put Nobber in front. This was followed almost immediately by a lovely score from Brian Meade for the hosts. Farrell again restored Nobber's advantage on 26 minutes. Cody Reilly leveled matters again in the final minute of the half before Nobber sent over with the last kick of the half to lead 0-04 to 0-03 at the break.

John Donegan restored parity inside two minutes of the second half and we had to wait until the fiftieth minute for the next score. This arrived from substitute Owen Elliott who edged Rathkenny back in front. Nobber dug deep and edged back in front with two scores in three minutes to lead by one with six minutes left on the clock. David Donegan went upfield to level once again with three minutes left. However the final three scores of the game were Nobbers as they left with the spoils.
