Two Donnacha Quinn points (one free, one ’65) got \u00c9ire \u00d3g off to an encouraging start and by the third minute the Blues led 0-2 to no-score.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g were playing into a stiff breeze and Clonoulty-Rossmore soon took advantage hitting 0-3 without reply to take the lead in the tenth minute.<\/p>\n

A Killian Gleeson point tied the game a minute later, but Clonoulty-Rossmore poured forward and landed five consecutive points to take a 0-9 to 0-3 lead.<\/p>\n

A Tommy Heffernan point brought 18 scoreless minutes to a close and at the break the Blues trailed 0-4 to 0-9.<\/p>\n

In the opening minute of the second half a stunning long-range point from the stick of wing-back Billy Heffernan set the tone.<\/p>\n

Barry Heffernan (free) and Donnacha Quinn then added points to leave just two in it (0-7 to 0-9) by the 33rd minute.<\/p>\n

In the 34th Tommy Heffernan set up Killian Gleeson for a smashing goal and \u00c9ire \u00d3g led 1-7 to 0-9.<\/p>\n

A Paddy Murphy point then added to the Blues’ tally – \u00c9ire \u00d3g had now scored 1-4 without reply in eight minutes.<\/p>\n

To their credit Clonoulty-Rossmore hit back with two points book-ending a Donnacha Quinn free.<\/p>\n

A Michael Heffernan point in the 44th minute helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 1-10 to 0-11 lead, but Clonoulty-Rossmore hit back to leave the minimum between them.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g asserted themselves with points from Pearse Morris and Donnacha Quinn (two frees) to open a four-point gap (1-13 to 0-12) by the 51st minute. Clonoulty-Rossmore responded once more, however, with four points leaving the sides all square (1-13 to 0-16) by the 58th.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g finished strong with two Michael Heffernan points sealing the win.<\/p>\n
