Ballingarry did equalise when they scored after the ball broke from their corner. Ballingarry had numerous corners in the first half but Askeaton held out for 1-1 at halftime.
Brooklyn Delahunty made it 2-1 5 minutes into the 2nd half but the visitors pulled it back to 2-2 10 minutes later. Askeaton were physically stronger than their opposition and that told in the last 20 minutes of the game. Jamie Sheahan headed in. Ryan corner to take the lead again.

Great game against a tough side, we were down to 10 men 15 mins into the second half. The score was 1 nil and the boys dug deep and controlled the game well. Went on to score 2 more goals to come away with all 3 points.
