Moynalvey 4 - 5 Blackhall Gaels 3 - 10

Like the original game, Moynalvey suffered a nightmare start falling 9 points behind after 10 minutes on a scoreline of 2 - 3 to 0 - 0. However, they then got a foothold on the game and goals from Ray Ryan, Shane Collins and Ger McHale as well as a Collins pointed free left the half time score at Blackhall 2 - 7 Moynalvey 3 - 1.

On the restart, Moynalvey set about reducing the 3 point deficit and a point followed by a goal from Ray Ryan remarkably had Moynalvey level on a scoreline of 4 - 2 to 2 - 8 with 15 minutes remaining. Blackhall pointed to retake the lead but points from Shane Collins (2) and Sean Carroll had Moynalvey 2 clear and seemingly on course for a semi final spot. Blackhall Gaels, however, had other ideas and a well worked move saw them goal with 5 minutes remaining to take a one point lead. Moynalvey missed a gilt edged chance to level through Ger McHale and Blackhall pointed in the final minute to secure a 2 point victory and progress to a semi final meeting with St Peter's Dunboyne this coming Sunday.

This was a disappointing end to the season for the Moynalvey second string. However, a number of these players will hope to make an impact on the first team in the Junior A championship in the coming weeks.
