Rathcline/Grattans . . . 2-13 Carrickedmond 1-14

Rathcline/Grattans were dealt a huge blow in the first half when key forward Oran Kenny had to retire in the 20th minute due to concussion sustained in a clash but they showed a lot of character to emerge victorious
Rathcline/Grattans led by 1-6 to 0-8 at half-time with Eoin Kelly flicking the ball to the net just before the break while Iarla O’Sullivan scored the decisive second goal in the 53rd minute.
