Both sides got off the mark with 2 points apiece inside the first 10 mins before Raheen edged in front with 4 points to Rhode’s 1 over the remainder of the half to give Raheen the lead at the break 0-06 to 0-03. Raheen doubled their lead with 3 points in a row midway through the second half. Then on 21 mins Keith Quinn done well to keep the ball in down in the corner before crossing it into the square where John Ridgeway met it to punch it past the keeper to the net for the first goal and 2 mins later Paddy Arnold made a run through the middle before planting a shot into the top corner of the net for the second goal. Raheen wrapped it up with the final 2 points before the end as they kept Rhode scoreless for the entire second half.
