They then had the chance to get back to within four points with a goal chance but the low shot just scraped the wrong side of the post and wide. This miss proved costly as Carnaross went down the other end and scored two points inside a minute through Ollie Murphy and Liam Brogan to leave nine points in it. Both sides then exchanged two points each with Brian Comaskey and Shane Casserly hitting the target for Carnaross. St Ultans scored two frees in the final ten minutes before Carnaross were awarded a penalty with three minutes remaining, which resulted in Ollie Murphy's spotkick scraping over the crossbar to bring an end to the scoring.
