However after this Clodiagh were well on top and had a two goal lead going into the second half after scoring in the 15th and 35th minute with two great efforts. Rearcross came out in the second half and did well with Darragh McGrath and Mike Quigley linking up and were unlucky not get a goal from the outcome.Rearcross also came close to scoring from a free kick which William Mackey was unlucky to score. Rearcross conceeded late in the final quarter to lose on a 3 nil scoreline, Rearcross had good performances from Mike Quigley, Brian Carey and Kevin Mulcahy.
