The lead was down to the minimum in the early stages of the second half but a good run from Kevin Kenna led to the ball finishing with Stephen Clynch and the county selector found the Tones net for the games opening goal. Clynch and Reilly added points but again Wolfe Tones hit back with a goal to leave it 1-15 to 1-12 heading in to the closing stages.

Kilmessan upped the tempo and finished with 2-2, Darren Reilly and Joey Kenna getting the goals to close out proceedings.
