Nobber report:

Nobber.            1.10
Kilmainham.    0.13

A 61st minute pointed free from Brian Farrell to draw the match enabled Nobber to maintain their unbeaten run in this years competition
Kilmainham outscored Nobber 9/5 in the second half helped in no small way by the dismissal of corner back Barry Cassidy in the 34th minute for a second bookable offence

Nobber were the better side in the first half and despite the squandering of several scoring chances still led 1.05 to 0.04 at the break. Jamie Owens got them of the mark with a first minute point followed by further points from Karl Casserly 2 Dean Halpin and Sean Meade this was followed by a well taken. Penalty from Brian Farrell after Casserly was upended in the square after been put through by a great pass from Gavin Farrelly.

Farrelly added to Nobbers total in the 31st minute but with Kilmainhams emergance found themselves fighting a rear guard action for the remainder of this period with Brian Farrell keeping them in the hunt with his 4 points.

Credit is due to Kilmainham about the way they set about the task in the second half and allowing for the fact it was Nobber who pointed late to draw the match a division of spoils was the fairest result.
