Upon the restart Kilmainhamwood still couldn’t come up with answers to the halt the Moynalvey forward line, all of whom registered on the score board. Moynalvey furthered their advantage with points from the industrious Peter Durnin, a P.J Walsh effort following good build up play involving Peter Durnin & Anthony Brien and also a Shane Collins free after Ger McHale had been fouled. With the game now out of Kilmainhamwood’s reach, Moynalvey’s Donal Smith, Philly Garvey & midfielder Paul Corcoran registered points on the score board, before substitute Daniel Treacy bagged a third goal for the men in maroon in response to Kilmmainhamwood’s three points of the second half.
