Two late pointed frees in injury cut the deficit to 0-6 to 0-3 at half time but just thirteen seconds after the restart Alex Kenny pointed for Edenderry after a terrific run from David Hanlon. In the thirty fifth minute St Brigid's scored a very well worked goal and there was just the minimum between the teams.

A John Gorman goal in the forty third minute gave Edenderry some comfort and a Jordan Hayes point three minutes later increased the reds lead to four points, The game was put beyond doubt a minute later when Aaron McDonnell fired his shot to the back of the net and four points from Jordan Hayes (2), Alex Kenny and Jamie Dolan gave Edenderry a twelve point lead.

The sides traded two points a piece more with both of Edenderry's coming from corner forward Alex Kenny to round off a good nights work for the Edenderry men.
