The first half was a complete onslaught of attack from Na Fianna as they clocked up the scores and by half time they led 10-07 to 0-02. Early in the second half with such a comprehensive lead Na Fianna could afford the opportunity to bring on their full compliment of substitutes and these all accounted for themselves well as Na Fianna increased their tally adding a further 2-06 without a single reply from DER Gaels.

Ferbane opened the scoring with a point straight from the throw in. Na Fianna then got off the mark with their first point on 7 mins followed immediately by their first goal when Craig Strong lobbed the keeper from the edge of the square to the top right corner of the net. The remainder of the half saw both sides add 2 points apiece to leave Na Fianna leading at the break 1-03 to 0-03.
