Following a few stoppages for injuries, Whites Cross came more into the game and they got their first score, a point , shortly after.  Then came the first killer blow as they got through for a goal at the start of the second quarter.

Another free, another point, from Seadha Crowley, but Whites Cross got that one back before he added another close to half time,

Patrick Crowley sent over the equaliser to make it 0-9 to 1-6 .

Twenty five minutes gone and Whites Cross regained the lead from another free but once again Seadhna Crowley was on target as he sent over his eighth point.
