> The Neale started the second half in whirl wind fashion and scored
> five points on the bounce from Steven Lydon (fisted), Paul Killeen,
> Niall Walsh (45 free) and Hoppy with a beauty to leave them 11 points
> to 7 clear. Like the first half the Neale lacked composure and allowed
> Kilmaine back into the game and four Paul Doherty points saw the sides
> finish level 11 points apiece. This was a very work man like
> performance from the Neale side and they seem to be hitting a rich
> vein of form at the moment.
>

> 3—05 victory over Kilmaine. Goals from James Conroy, Oisin Connolly,
> Daniel Keane and Daragh Moran saw them run out easy winners.
