The home side had a good second half, while they produce some fine scores to leave the final outcome at 3-11 to 1-8.

The conditions were difficult with Shane Carey getting Scotstown off the mark with two points but by the end of the first quarter Doohamlet hit 1-3 and carried the advantage right through the match as the home side went in at the break 2-4 to 5pts up. In the 2^nd half Doohamlet extended their lead to six but to their credit Scotstown did reduce Doohamlet’s six point lead on two separate occasions and when a goal was required from an injury time free, a point was the end result, however, Scotstown did put in a spirited effort right to the final whistle but in the end it was Doohamlet who got the league points on a final score of 2-11 to 1-12.
