An Ghaeltacht started at a fearless and furious pace on Saturday evening in Gallarois. They sustained this energy right throughout the game. It took Ballymac some time to get into the game. The second half was fascinating to watch with five goals scored and no let-up from either team until the final whistle blew.
An Ghaeltacht, made their intentions known within a minute, they breached the Ballymac back line and the ball hit the back of the net. Aidan Been scored a point for Ballymac and after six minutes Niall Collins had matched An Ghaeltacht earlier point.
For fifteen minutes, Ballymac could not add to this tally of 0-2 and An Ghaeltacht added three points before Michael Herlihy scored a much-needed point for Ballymac. An Ghaeltacht added another to bring their tally for their half to 1-06. Two points from Donal Daly and a free from Aidan Breen finished the scoring for the first half.
