With the aid of a strong breeze, Kiladangan held a 1-13 to 0-1 lead with Tom McLoughlin scoring the goal from one of his trademark sidelines.

The sides traded goals (Dara O’Dwyer the Kiladangan goal scorer) within the first two minutes of the second half and the game was tit for tat thereafter, with Lorrha scoring two pointed frees in the last three minutes to secure a draw.
