After 25 played minutes Pollrone got a freekick which was hit by Birr McBrandon. 30 minutes into the match, Pollrone's goalkeeper Bearach McDonald had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Fionntán Murphy. In the 34th minute Barcvni Cronin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bearach McDonald saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Loskeran's Breaghdha Lester got a free kick in the 36th minute. When Torrey Duggan fell near the penalty area in the 41st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Loskeran's protests and gave Torrey Duggan a yellow card for diving instead. In the 41st minute, Torrey Duggan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Doney McLaughlin to make the kick off. Derry Beckett hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match. Fionntán Murphy sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 78 minutes, Lochlainn Ferguson mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Pollrone and the Loskeran players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 78th minute, Lochlainn Ferguson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 79 played minutes, Loskeran's Torrey Duggan shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Bearach McDonald came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Loskeran reached it. Doney McLaughlin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 81st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When the final whistle went the supporters of Pollrone were delighted that their team had defeated the much more dominant Loskeran side.
