Ballylongford 3-10 

Asdee 3-4

Ballylongford collected the points in this local derby with seven points to spare after an entertaining game played in brilliant sunshine at O'Rahilly Park Ballylongford.

In the early exchanges both defenses were on top and blotted out any attacks that came their way and when the opportunities did arrive they were squandered with some wayward shooting. Joe McCarthy eventually got Ballylongford off the mark and he had two on the board before Mike Breen got Asdee's opening score with a well taken goal in the 15th minute.

Ballylongford pushed up again looking to get back on terms and Darren Murphy found the net three minutes later to put Bally back in front. Cian Barrett and Seanie Kennelly added a point apiece while John Doran and substitute Kieran Kelly replied for Asdee. Eoin Kennedy was unlucky when his shot for goal came off the crossbar just before half time.

Half Time score: Ballylongford 1-4 Asdee 1-2

The third quarter belonged to Ballylongford as they raced into a twelve point lead, two early points from Ciaran O'Connor and Seanie Kennelly was quickly followed by goal from the penalty spot from Ciaran O'Connor after a leg block on Kenneth Foley. Padraig O'Neill and Ciaran O'Connor added a further two points before Kenneth Foley struck for goal number three as he was quickest to react to a ball coming off the crossbar in the 13th minute.

Asdee needed goals at this stage to get back in the game and Darragh Keane got one back after a great individual effort in the 22nd minute to add to Eoin Tydings earlier pointed free. 

Ciaran O'Connor got a point for Ballylongford to steady the ship but this was quickly followed by a goal for Asdee from Michael Tydings in the 27th minute. Two more points were exchanged before Referee Ian Liston brought proceedings to a close.
