\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 1-12 Portroe 0-9<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues started well and despite playing into the wind led 0-2 to no-score after three minutes when Adam Healy (free) and Jake Morris helped themselves to early points. The home side hit back, however, to score three unanswered points and led 0-3 to 0-2 with ten minutes played. The Portroe lead was almost increased significantly in the 12th minute, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g goalkeeper Ian McNamara made a terrific save.<\/p>\n

A fourth Portroe point in the 24th minute left the Blues facing a two-point deficit, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g hit back with efforts from Adam Healy (free) and Jake Morris levelling matters before a converted Portroe free in the 31st minute handed the home side a 0-5 to 0-4 interval lead.<\/p>\n

In the opening minute of the second half a Craig Himli point tied the game, but Portroe hit back in the 35th to level matters at 0-6 apiece.<\/p>\n

Portroe edged back into the lead thanks to a point from play in the 46th minute, but seconds later Jake Morris tied the game. Two minutes later Adam Healy set up Jake Morris for a goal-scoring opportunity which was blocked by the Portroe full-back. Morris turned provider in the 51st minute when the wing-forward set up captain Craig Himli for a point which handed \u00c9ire \u00d3g a 0-8 to 0-7 lead.<\/p>\n

A minute later Adam Healy\u2019s effort at a point crept in under the Portroe crossbar and the Blues now led by four. Seconds later Gavin O\u2019Connor blocked a Portroe goal chance before a Portroe free in the 54th minute left a goal in it.<\/p>\n

Playing with the aid of the breeze the Blues poured forward and a brace of points from Craig Himli helped the visitors into a 1-10 to 0-8 by the 56th minute. Further scores from the boot of Jake Morris and Aaron Hogan forced the Blues into a seven-point advantage while Portroe had the final say in the matter from a placed ball in second half injury time. <\/p>\n
