From there Seneschalstown took a grip on the game, Owen Mullen found the net in the 12th minute after a well worked move. After a lull of eight minutes without a score Jack McDonnell put that right with a point before Seneschalstown were awarded a penalty after 22 minutes when Neill Darby was fouled. Captain Ryan Finnegan stepped up and slotted the penalty away to move Seneschalstown seven to the good.

The sides swapped points in the run up to half time with Cian Hosie raising his second white flag before the home side got their first goal a minute before half-time as Seneschalstown lead 2-05 to 1-04 at the break.
