Portroe took the lead thanks to an impressive point inside the opening nine seconds of the game, but the Blues hit back with a Conor McCarthy effort almost immediately. A converted free edged Portroe back into the lead before goals from Adam Healy and Conor McCarthy helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 2-1 to 0-2 lead with just four minutes played.<\/p>\n

A Conor McCarthy point left six between the sides before Portroe hit back with two points (one free) of their own. Efforts from Conor McCarthy and Jake Morris (free) re-established the six-point gap between the sides before Portroe responded with a converted free in the 14th minute (2-4 to 0-5).<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s third goal materialised in the 17th minute and on this occasion came courtesy of hard-working full-forward Adam Carey. Points from Jake Morris (free), Adam Healy and Anthony Walsh then forced the Blues eleven points clear (3-7 to 0-5).<\/p>\n

Portroe closed out the half in positive fashion with a converted \u201965 and a point from play before a Jake Morris effort brought the opening half to a close. At the break \u00c9ire \u00d3g led 3-8 to 0-6. Referee Tommy Ryan corrected the scoreline at the interval to 3-7 to 0-6.<\/p>\n

Two Portroe points during the opening two minutes of the second half cut the Blues\u2019 lead significantly before Niall McKeogh responded for \u00c9ire \u00d3g. An Adam Carey goal in the 33rd minute helped Nenagh into a 4-9 to 0-8 lead before Portroe hit back with a goal of their own in the 35th minute. Portroe then added a point to their tally to leave nine between them (4-9 to 1-9).<\/p>\n

Points from Jake Morris (free), Adam Healy and Se\u00e1n Shanahan forced \u00c9ire \u00d3g twelve clear entering the final quarter.<\/p>\n

To their absolute credit Portroe fought on manfully and were misfortunate to see \u00c9ire \u00d3g \u2018keeper Shane Hennessy save a 21-yard free from Ruadhan Mulrooney in the 48th minute.<\/p>\n

A placed ball from Portroe was soon cancelled out by efforts from Adam Healy and Craig Himli before a Jake Morris point in the 56th minute helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 4-15 to 1-10 lead. A Craig Himli brace in the closing minutes concluded the scoring from an \u00c9ire \u00d3g point of view, but Portroe refuse to give up and closed out the game impressively notching a goal and a point in second half injury time.<\/p>\n

At the final whistle referee Tommy Ryan corrected the final score to 4-16 to 2-12. The Blues\u2019 record of the match indicates that the final score was 4-18 to 2-12. No scoreboard was in operation in Puckane.<\/p>\n
