John Mitchels came out strong after the water break and scored three points without return, and while Beaufort had two frees, from Jack and Fergal, John Mitchels led at halftime on a scoreline of 0-9 to 0-6. Mitchels opened the scoring in the second half widening the gap, but this was short lived as a goal from Jack O’Connor and a point from Fergal Hallissey had the teams level 5 minutes into the second half. Mike Breen’s black card put Beaufort at a disadvantage, but further points from Liam Carey, Fergal Hallissey and Ciarán Kennedy put Beaufort ahead by 1 just heading into the water break on a scoreline of 1-10 to 0-12. An interception out the field and hard work by the Beaufort forwards led to a great goal for Sean O’Brien with 11 minutes to play. Beaufort took control of the game from then on, and while Mitchels scored some great points, Beaufort scores from Ciarán, Fergal and Mike ensured a victory for Beaufort on a scoreline of 2-13 to 0-16.
