Garrycastle 1-14 Tyrellspass 0-12

Garrycastle were sluggish and were losing a lot of breaks. In the second quarter there was an improvement in the home team’s play and were rewarded with points from Conor Cosgrove, Andrew Monaghan, and Alex Gardiner. Dessie Dolan’s introduction after 25 minutes helped the team’s performance. The halftime score was 0-7 to 0-5. Early points in the second half by Dessie Dolan and Eoin Monaghan levelled the scores.
