Urney came out very strong and applied pressure to the Plunketts from the start but Pomeroy opened the scoring with a point from Sean Murphy, both teams worked hard and with both defending brilliantly and it was the 15th minute before Urney were able to break in to the scoring with a goal. Crico Colhoune put over the next score for the Plunketts. Urney again were pushing forward and were able to penetrate the defence and again put in another goal followed by a point. The Plunketts fought back and Hugh McNamee putting over a free. But the game was to change when Denver Nugent won the ball about the 13 and carried it up the field and after being fouled made a quick pass to Brendan Cunningham who gave the ball to Ciaran McKenna who hammered it into the net in the 21st minute, Mark McKenna put over a free and this was the last score of a very exciting end to end first half. First half score 1.4 – 2.1.
Urney Prove Bogey Team Again
The second half was to be even more intense with the ball up and down the field. Urney got 3 unanswered scores to put them ahead before Mark McKenna put over a free in the 16th minute, followed by a point from Chrio Colhoun bringing it back to a point game. Urney put over the next point followed by Ronan McKenna. In the last couple of minutes the Plunketts tried to penetrate the Urney defence but were just not able to get that point to draw the game and it was Urney who got the last score of the game in the 32nd minute to win the game by 2 points.
