Donal Casey and John Spillane opened the scoring for the home team, but Tuosist responded with two points from Mike Tim O’Sullivan. Patrick Palmer and Colm Brosnan then exchanged scores before a good interception around midfield by Donal Casey, set up a quick Templenoe attack, resulting in a goal for Patrick Palmer.
Templenoe drove on and increased the lead with points from Denis O’Neill and Killian Spillane as the match headed towards the interval. Peadar O’Shea pulled one back for the visitors, leaving the half time score, Templenoe 1-05, Tuosist 0-04.
After the restart, Danny Cahalane pointed a lovely long range point, but Liam O’Shea capped a great individual run by finishing the ball to the net.

Another Templenoe attack saw a ball passed across the Tuosist square which was finished to the net by Martin Reilly. More points followed from the boots of Killian Spillane and Pat Clifford to close out the game for Templenoe.
