Having played against the wind in the first half Ballycumber were happy enough to go in at half time 0–6 0–4 in arrears. St Rynaghs raced into a three point lead after four minutes but Colm Quinn pointed a free in the 10 minute and we had to wait until the 20th for the next score a point from play by Adrian Kelly and was followed a minute later by a great score from Fergal Daly to level the scores. St Rynaghs got two more points from play before Rory Guinan kicked a free over the bar in the 32nd minute and a minute later the Cloghan men got their sixth point of the half.Ballycmber aided by the wind kicked five unanswered points to gain a three point lead with points from Adrian Kelly[2] Colm Quinn [2 frees] and a Rory Guinan free. Peter Flynn made a great save from the St Rynaghs full forward, but the referee inexplicably awarded a penalty which was converted.Rory Guinan’s pointed free regained the lead but the momentum now swung in favour of St Rynaghs and they scored two points.Team.
