The game in Clogherhead saw the hosts pushed all the way in the first half by St Mochtas before a dominant second half display helped them ease to victory.

At the end of an entertaining opening period, the home team went in at half time leading 0-7 to 0-5 with points from play from Peter Kirwan and Nathan Sutherland,a point each from play for Pepe Smith and Jay Hughes along with three placed efforts from Hughes. The Mochtas battled to stay in contention and had points from Cormac Smyth, Darren McMahon and Gerry Garland.

The game turned in the Dreadnots favour in the early stages of the second half as they added 1-2 to their tally without reply.
