A pair of Moynalvey points from Aaron McCabe after being picked out by a Ray Ryan pass followed by a Michael Brady point were countered by another Blakemore point for the home side, leaving it 1-5 to 0-3 with twelve minutes played.

Six Moynalvey points without reply extended the visitors lead out to eleven points, those scores coming from Aaron McCabe, Adam Rooney, Ray Ryan (2) his first laid on by Evan Drum and the second after receiving a neat pass in from Michael Brady, Barry Walsh (2) the second of his after Cian Williams fielded Anthony Brien’s kickout and placed  a long ball into Walsh who curled over for his third point of the game, 1-11 to 0-3 after nineteen minutes.

Syddan broke that Moynalvey scoring spree with 1-1, the goal from Josh McKenna and a point from a Ben Blakemore free. However, the men in maroon finished the half off strong with four points to Syddan’s one to leave the half time score board read 1-15 to 1-5 in favour of Moynalvey at the break. Those four points coming from Aaron Sweeney, Adam Rooney, Ray Ryan (2), the second of Ryan’s points a tap over after Michael Brady dispossessed Syddan goalkeeper Myles Aver as he was emerging with the ball. Syddan’s final point of the first half coming from full forward Darren Smith.

Syddan were boosted by a second goal when Kevin Carry fisted past Anthony Brien in the Moynalvey goal ninety seconds after the restart. Moynalvey responded to this with a second Michael Brady point helped over by the crossbar and then a brace of Moynalvey goals from Vinny Walsh and Evan Drum essentially sealing the two points for Moynalvey, 3-16 to 2-5 eight minutes into the second half.

Ben Blakemore scored a free for Syddan with Moynalvey responding with 1-2, points from Ray Ryan and Barry Walsh and a goal from Aaron Sweeney who palmed home to an empty net after a sweet flick up from Adam Rooney fed Vinny Walsh who in turn unselfishly passed across goal to Sweeney to finish, 4-18 to 2-6 with forty three minutes gone.

Syddan finished off their scoring with a pair of points in the 46th and 48th minutes. Moynalvey went on to add another 1-4 to their final tally, points from an Aaron Sweeney free and a ‘45’ effortlessly stroked over by Cian Williams, an Evan Drum point, the goal from veteran substitute and competition sponsor Paul Conneely who finished low and hard past Myles Aver for Moynalvey’s 5th goal in the 54th minute.
