followed, the ball sent back in by Andrew Lavery was broken by Flanagan to Kevin Gartlan, who pointed his effort.

This was followed by another point from Michael Keane. The half finished with a goal for each team, The Fulham Irish effort a stab home from John Ward after more mayhem caused by Flanagan while Niall Gallagher netted for the Heston men.
