The Killygordan men played with the strong wind in the opening half and led by four at the break, 0-05 to 0-01.

St Mary’s got the only score from play in that first-half when Emmet Patterson pointed in the 17th minute.

Damian Browne with 0-2 and Jonny Carlin with 0-3, all from frees had their team ahead.                When Convoy’ s Paddy Dolan got the opening two points of the second-half to leave just two between them it looked like game on.
