Joseph Kirk gave a great display in goals pulling off some fine saves. Jack Doogan who advanced from the back line to score a point along with Jamie Lambe they played tremendous football throughout the match denying the many Scotstown advances. Halfbacks Shane Burns and Matthew Kieran worked hard as their team took a decisive grip on the match. Grace Kieran was outstanding as usual in midfield winning possession along with Jordan Duffy. Ronan Mc Keown with a score of 1-2 won a lot of ball  dominating his man and set up some great scores.
