Two minutes later, a movement commencing with Dave White and involving John Finn and John Howard was finished to the net by Eamonn O'Connor.Shanballymore had increased their tally to 4 points before the losers got through for a rather fortuitous goal resulting from a rather uncharacteristic misjudgment by Kildorrery keeper Brendan Hannon.

After the interval, the winners upped the tempo and a plentiful supply of ball to the forwards resulted in points per Tom Whelan, Eamonn O'Connor and Tom Monaghan. Midway through this period a fine solo run by Eamonn O'Connor, laid off to Tom Monaghan, whos shot came back off the upright, John Howard was on hand to punch to the Shanbally net to make the score 3-5 to 1-6.
