The Geraldines outfit began the second half with a greater urgency and by the 10th minute were ahead with goals coming from Oran Connolly and Daniel Kelly. Indeed, the latter finished with 3-3 to his name in a memorable performance. Corduff did manage to take the lead again momentarily following another Peter Connolly goal. But notably Killanny began to make their physicality count in the closing stages of the match dominating possession and delivering some wonderful scores to deservedly win the battle of the South Monaghan clubs.
