Four Blackhall Gaels points without reply left it 0-7 to 1-1 after 12 minutes.

Blackhall Gaels scored their first goal in the 22nd minute with midfielder Paul Kelly finishing from close range after his initial attempt was saved by Moynalvey ‘keeper David Brennan.
Then a brace of goals from Moynalvey’s Ciaran Harnan within a minute of each other swung the advantage back to Moynalvey, 3-5 to 1-8 with 25 minutes played.
Two Blackhall points from Paul Kelly and Dermot Carty left the half the half time score 3-5 to 1-10 in favour of Moynalvey.
