St Colmcilles led 4-4 to 1-9 at HT and stretched that to 4-7 to 1-9 in the five minutes after HT. However, Shamrocks staged a mini revival and scored 1-1 in quick succession to cut the deficit to 4-8 to 2-11 to give themselves hope with 3 points between the teams with plenty time left.![]()

But that hope was dispatched with the visitors scoring 2 goals in a minute followed by a quick point to end the game as a contest with 15 minutes to go. ![]()

What started out as an afternoon of promise and potential for two teams in the club ended in bitter disappointment with two championship exits, both at the exact same time. ![]()
