June 30, 2015
Frank O'Reilly Carnaross
Carnaross 3-7
Moynalty 0-10
A strong second-half performance resulted in Carnaross claiming full points against neighbours Moynalty.
The first-half was action packed throughout with a lot of well taken scores from both sides. Moynalty took the early advantage with a point inside the opening minute but Carnaross responded well when wing-back Liam Brogan sailed through the Moynalty defence and fired low to the net. Moynalty hit back with three points in as many minutes but Frank O'Reilly put Carnaross back in front once more with a goal in the seventh minute. Both sides exchange two points each with Frank O'Reilly and Niall McDonnell getting the Carnaross scores. Moynalty finished the half strong and scored three points in a row to go one up but a point from Shane Casserly left it all square at the break, 2-3 to 0-9.
While the first-half was end to end action, Carnaross upped their game and controlled the second-half. They got the perfect start when Paddy Dillon got his fist to the ball after a minute for his side's third goal. Shane Casserly added a point a minute later. It took ten minutes before the next score arrived when Niall McDonnell pointed to put Carnaross five up. Pierce Fleming added another with ten minutes remaining before Moynalty got their only score of the second-half from a free which was also the only score from a placed ball during the game. Moynalty almost got a goal back in the closing stages but were denied by a timely block from Peter Carpenter. Frank O'Reilly completed the scoring with a late point to leave Carnaross six in front at the final whistle.
