Moynalvey opened the scoring in the 6th minute with a Ciaran Ennis free, before Dunshaughlin equalised three minutes later.

Following the break, Dunshaughlin reduced the deficit to five points when they hit the opening three points of the second half. However, any hopes of a Dunshaughlin revival were dashed when Willie Byrne and Ciaran Ennis found the net within sixty seconds of each other, pushing Moynalvey’s advantage to eleven points. On the three quarter mark, the difference between the sides remained the same, following a further 0-1 from Ennis, and second points of the evening for Conneely and Maher. Willie Byrne raised his second green flag of the evening in the 49th minute following a neat flick pass from substitute PJ Walsh. A minute later, William Harnan split the posts after receiving a short ’45 from Ciaran Ennis. Another Harnan effort along with a second point of the evening for Donal Smith and a Ger Fagan point rounded off the Moynalvey scoring.
