Carnaross 1-6 Dunderry 1-16

A strong final third from Dunderry leaves Carnaross in the relegation zone with one game remaining.

Carnaross played against a strong wind in the opening period and after a solid performance would have been happy going in level at the break. Dunderry landed two early points to take the early advantage but two points within a minutes from Dermot McGee left it all square in the seventh minute. Dunderry pointed a free but Carnaross hit the front for the first time when Niall McDonnell scored the game's opening goal. Dermot McGee added another point for Carnaross but Dunderry responded well and three points before the half-time whistle left the sides level at 1-3 to 0-6.

The first chance of the second-half fell to Frank O'Reilly after a fine pass from Peter Carpenter but his goal attempt was well kept out by the Dunderry keeper. Dermot McGee pointed the resulting '45 before adding a free a minute later to give Carnaross a two point advantage. However, this proved to be the last score for the home side for twenty five minutes as Dunderry drew level before taking complete control of proceedings. They took a three point lead before adding a goal with seven minutes remaining. They hit another five points before the final whistle while the only response from Carnaross was a late free from Frank O'Reilly.
