A Danny Burke free got the Gaels off to the ideal start in the second half and leave them four clear. Over the course of the next ten minutes Achill had their best spell and scored 1-1 to level the game. Their goal came after a high centre that was fisted to the net. With the sides level the game was their there to be won and it was the Gaels that pushed on to register five unanswered points from play. Danny Burke showed great leadership and maturity to kick two fine efforts from play. With five minutes left Joe Gilroy kept his composure to tap over and leave the Gaels three clear. Achill pushed forward in search of an equalising goal but the Gaels defence held firm and they closed out the game with two points from play through Mallie Byrne and raiding corner back Noel Morris. A good win on the road with fine performances from Adrian Heneghan, John Sloyan, Niall Brett, Michael O'Gara and Danny Burke. They are home to Ballinrobe in the O'Mara Cup next Sunday.
