Tyholland responded with a point before Dylan Finnegan added 2 points and after a combination of brilliant play from Jarred Wenham, Jamie King slotted over another point leaving the score Corduff 0-05 to 0-01 with 11 minutes gone in the first third. Then Tyholland scored 2 unanswered points before Dearbhla Callan won a free and played a quick ball to Dylan who finished the scoring before the break leaving the score Corduff 0-06 Tyholland 0-04. Corduff again opened the scoring and held the lead thanks to some good defending from Conal Reynolds and a brilliant goal save from James Walsh this helped Corduff extend their lead to 0-05 to 0-08. Tyholland did go and bring the lead back to a point before points from Jamie King and Dylan Finnegan left the score after the second third 0-12 to Tyholland 0-10.
