Chris Hoban extended the lead with a free from a acute angle. Cormac Heffernan got on the scoresheet after eight minutes with another point to lead four points to no score. In the ninth minute, Ferrybank got their first goal, a super pass from Chris Hoban found Damien Walsh and the full forward blasted the ball to the net, giving the Mt Sion keeper no chance.

On the stroke of half time Mt Sion registered their first score with a point from a free, leaving the half time score 1-6 to -1 in favour of the Village lads. Any hopes of a Mt Sion comeback were evaporated at the start of the second half with Damien Ahern pointing, and Mark Russell getting a second following a great solo run. Sean Flynn in the Ferrybank goal pulled of a great double save to keep another clean sheet. Point from Sam Lawless increased the lead before Mt Sion put two points over, but in the 45th minute Cormac Heffernan got Ferrybanks third with a mazy run before rifling the sliothar into the net. Points from Chris Hoban(2) and Sam Lawless increased the lead, and Eoin O' Neill got the final score on the night with a bullet of a strike on his left side which screamed into the top corner of the Mt Sion net. This was a good performance from the team, and they showed good passage of play during the game using the ball well and finding their men, which resulted in some very good scores been taken. No doubt the selectors would have been pleased with the performance. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team on the night.
