Joe Quinn started the scoring with a free on sixteen minutes while Keith McMorrow added another after a good Gaels move. Paddy O'Grady, Damien Lyons, and Joe Quinn extended the Gaels lead to five points before O'Grady scored a great goal with a minute on the clock and the in form O'Grady notched up another point on the stroke of half time to give the Gaels a nine point lead at half time.

The second half was a different story as Tubbercurry completely dominated proceedings and narrowed the gap to two points after scoring 1-4 without reply in the first twenty minutes. Joe Quinn pointed from a free two minutes later to give the Gaels their only score of the second half.
