South champions Moyle Rovers took the lead in the opening minute before Se\u00e1n Phelan responded for \u00c9ire \u00d3g in the fourth. Rovers then fired two points without reply to take a significant advantage before Conor McCarthy saw his snap shot blocked in the eighth minute. A superb right-handed point from Killian Malone in the tenth minute left one in it, but Moyle Rovers then scooted into a 0-5 to 0-2 lead.<\/p>\n

Efforts from Jake Morris and Se\u00e1n Shanahan reeled Rovers in a little, but another brace from the South champions saw the Blues trail 0-4 to 0-7 by the 18th minute.<\/p>\n

Two Jake Morris points in quick succession reduced the deficit to one, but two further points from Moyle Rovers left three in it (0-6 to 0-9) as the interval approached. \u00c9ire \u00d3g were also grateful to Scott O\u2019Brien in the 24th minute when the Blues\u2019 \u2018keeper saved neatly. Late efforts from Jake Morris and Se\u00e1n Shanahan left two in it at the break (0-8 to 0-10).<\/p>\n

The \u00c9ire \u00d3g performance improved significantly in the second half.<\/p>\n

Although the sides traded two points apiece during the opening eight minutes of the second half with Jake Morris (one free) accounting for both \u00c9ire \u00d3g scores, the Blues then hit 0-5 without reply to carve out a 0-15 to 0-12 lead by the 50th minute.<\/p>\n

A Jake Morris point heralded a significant part of this contest. The hard-working Fiachra Carey then forced the Moyle Rovers \u2018keeper to concede a \u201965 which Jake Morris converted to tie the game in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g took the lead for the first time in the 46th minute when Daniel Molamphy picked out Se\u00e1n Phelan and the corner-forward swung over a smasher (0-13 to 0-12). Conor McCarthy and Conor Bonnar soon added efforts and \u00c9ire \u00d3g, who were now playing with the aid of the breeze, led by three (0-15 to 0-12).<\/p>\n

Moyle Rovers added a converted free to their tally in the 51st minute, but the Blues were hurling well and in no mood to concede an inch of ground. Indeed, \u00c9ire \u00d3g conjured the score of the game in the 52nd minute – Mark O\u2019Farrell won a terrific turnover at centre-back and worked the ball toward Se\u00e1n Shanahan who turned the ball into the path of Conor McCarthy and McCarthy belted over a left-handed effort.<\/p>\n

Three Jake Morris points (two frees) helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 0-19 to 0-13 lead before points from Killian Malone, Conor McCarthy (two) and, finally, Jake Morris (free) concluded the scoring.<\/p>\n

In the third minute of second half injury time a Moyle Rovers player was sent off for a second bookable offence.<\/p>\n
