It was a tight game with both teams answering each other point for point until Ben Monahan raised the green flag for the Ballinabrackey in the 21st minute. The Bracks kicked on scoring the next four points keeping Oldcastle scoreless for the remainder of the half. 

The second half started slow once again there was nearly four minutes into the half before either team found a score. Oldcastle popped over a point from play to get the scoreboard ticking. Dean Coyne was the man once again to get Ballinabrackey rolling with a point from play. The Ballinabrackey lads showed great communication and simple passes was the way to see out the game, as they scored another four points without reply.
