An Ghaeltacht 3-22, Templenoe 0-07.
On an absolutely fantastic sunny Sunday afternoon for football, Templenoe never got going against a fine An Ghaeltacht side. Both teams were missing a number of first team regulars, but An Ghaeltacht seized the initiative from the throw in. Dara O’Sé pointed from a free to open the scoring, and by the 10th minute led on a score of An Ghaeltacht 0-02, Templenoe 0-00. Templenoe had chances in this period with Pat Spillane put through on goal and brilliantly saved by Tomás Mac an tSaoir, being the best effort.
Templenoe kicked their 1st point on the 11th minute through Brian Crowley, but An Ghaeltacht reeled off five points before Templenoe scored again with a Sean Sheehan point. The scoring continued at a quick pace leaving a half time score of An Ghaeltacht 2-14, Templenoe 0-05.
The home side played the 2nd half with the aid of the breeze, and were able to hold off any attempts of a Templenoe fightback leaving the final score An Ghaeltacht 3-22, Templenoe 0-07
