Moynalvey 2-17 St. Colmcilles 0-5

Moynalvey rattled off seven unanswered points over the remainder of the half, giving them a 0-10 to 0-3 lead at the break.
The East Meath men added their 4th point of the evening within sixty seconds of the restart.

A second goal for Moynalvey from Ciaran Ennis in the dying minutes left Moynalvey comprehensive 18 point winners on a 2-17 to 0-5 score line.
