Two Kilmeena points narrowed the gap before Conroy and Kilmeena exchanged points to leave the Neale 1—03 to 0—03 ahead entering the second quarter. An excellent goal by Aidan Sullivan widened the gap however the Kilmeena refused to die and two close in frees kept them in touch. Steven Conroy had the last say of the half with a point from an acute angle to leave the half time score the Neale 2—04 to 0—05.
