2 early ballivor points put them 3 ahead,then a turning point when midfielder Kevin Galligan broke through and his goal bound shot was deflected out for a 45 which was duly dispatched by Conor Smith

The next passage of played summed up St Ultans luck,a good quick passing move ended with Breslin crashing his shot off the crossbar with the keeper beaten
