Moynalvey 2 - 7 Kilmainhamwood 0 - 12
After opening the scoring through a PJ Walsh point, Kilmainhamwood responded with 3 points of their own to lead by 0 - 3 to 0 - 1 after 15 minutes. However, a quick free by Brian Conneely then released midfielder Paul Corcoran through on the Kilmainhamwood goals and he made no mistake hammering home to the net to put the home side ahead. Both sides had further goal chances in the half but both Colin Dunne in the Moynalvey goals and the Kilmainhamwood keeper made some fine saves. A Ciaran Ennis free in response to 2 more 'Wood points left the half time score level, 1 - 2 to 0 - 5.
Moynalvey started the second half best and points from Ennis and James Weldon were followed up by a Shane Collins goal after Conneely's initial effort was saved, to leave Moynalvey 5 points ahead, 2 - 4 to 0 - 5. However, Kilmainhamwood then proceeded to dominate the next 15 minutes and through some fine point taking, they found themselves a point ahead, 0 - 11 to 2 - 4 with 10 minutes left.
Martin Ryan then levelled the game with an unbelievable effort, soccer style from near the corner flag, before the Wood pointed again to go ahead. Weldon equalised and in the final minutes scored a fine point from play to secure the victory against a Kilmainhamwood side who kicked a number of wides in the second period and deserved more from the game.
