A Donnacha Quinn free in third minute got \u00c9ire \u00d3g off to a positive start. A minute later Pearse Morris added an effort from play and the Blues led 0-2 to no-score. Brian O\u2019Meara responded with a converted free in the sixth minute to get Kilruane off the mark, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g hit back with a Donnacha Quinn free to bring eight scoreless minutes to a conclusion in the 14th.<\/p>\n

Shane Quinlan won a penalty for Kilruane which S\u00e9amus Hennessy planted in the roof of the \u00c9ire \u00d3g net to hand the MacDonagh\u2019s a 1-1 to 0-3 lead. \u00c9ire \u00d3g spurned a goal-scoring opportunity in the 17th minute when Jack Peters recovered just in time to block Paddy Murphy\u2019s effort. A Michael Heffernan effort tied the game soon after, but points from Shane Quinlan and S\u00e9amus Hennessy (free) presented Kilruane with an encouraging 1-3 to 0-4 lead by the 20th minute.<\/p>\n

Donnacha Quinn (free) responded for \u00c9ire \u00d3g before Liam Gibson threw himself at a Tommy Heffernan effort at goal in the 26th minute and denied the Blues a certain three-pointer. Donnacha Quinn converted the resultant \u201965 and the sides were level (0-6 to 1-3).<\/p>\n

An Andrew Coffey point following good work from Pearse Morris presented \u00c9ire \u00d3g with the lead in the 29th minute, but Kilruane closed out the half impressively with points from Justin Cahill and Brian O\u2019Meara (free) handing the MacDonagh\u2019s a 1-5 to 0-7 interval lead.<\/p>\n

SECOND HALF<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g were much improved immediately after the break and out-scored Kilruane 1-4 to 0-1 during an impressive thirteen-minute spell.<\/p>\n

Michael Heffernan set \u00c9ire \u00d3g on their way with a neat point in the 34th minute. Seconds later Donnacha Quinn (free) added to the \u00c9ire \u00d3g tally and although Brian O\u2019Meara responded with a point for Kilruane the Blues were in irresistible mood with points from Andrew Coffey and Donnacha Quinn helping the north champions into a 0-11 to 1-6 lead by the 40th minute.<\/p>\n

In the 43rd Pearse Morris struck for an \u00c9ire \u00d3g goal. James Mackey was instrumental in winning the ball and creating a goal-scoring opportunity for Paddy Murphy. Kilruane \u2018keeper Thomas Williams saved brilliantly, but Morris buried the rebound and \u00c9ire \u00d3g led by five.<\/p>\n

Kilruane needed a tonic and found it in the 46th minute when S\u00e9amus Hennessy\u2019s long-range free broke to Ray McLoughney and the wing-forward fired home an opportunist goal (1-11 to 2-6).<\/p>\n

In the 47th minute Kilruane \u2018keeper Thomas Williams advanced to make a telling save when denying the raiding Paddy Murphy following some excellent combination play between James Mackey and Donnacha Quinn. Seconds later Brian O\u2019Meara landed a great point to leave just one between them.<\/p>\n

D\u00e1ire Quinn fired over a long-range point in the 48th minute and Donnacha Quinn added a free to his side\u2019s tally as this encounter moved into the final ten minutes (1-13 to 2-7). Kilruane needed a little encouragement, but it was the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lads who seized the initiative in the 52nd minute when Pearse Morris broke Paddy Murphy\u2019s teasing delivery down to Michael Heffernan and Heffernan buried his effort past a helpless Thomas Williams. Two minutes later \u00c9ire \u00d3g carved open the Kilruane defence once more, but Paddy Murphy\u2019s snap shot flew narrowly wide.<\/p>\n

A Justin Cahill point with six minutes to play cut the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lead to five before S\u00e9amus Hennessy opted to go for goal from a 21-yard free in the 58th minute. \u00c9ire \u00d3g \u2018keeper Michael McNamara saved Hennessy\u2019s shot and a Michael Heffernan point on the hour mark brought the scoring to a conclusion.<\/p>\n
