A fast start saw Carrigtwohill go on the attack from kick off, pinning Kanturk back in defence. An onslaught of chances from Carrigtwohill from early in the game set the pace and outlined the dogged determination and the desire from the lads. On the 19th minute, a quick throw in from Conor Board played Harry Cashman into space, Harry with his pace and goal scoring prowess neatly slotted the ball into the net to give Carrigtwohill a 1-0 lead.
At half time the lads remained focused and knew that there were more goals to be scored and were determined to continue in the same vein.

The second half started much the same as the first, with Carrigtwohill piling the pressure onto the Kanturk back line. In the 35th minute a through ball from Alex Gibbons played Tom Coyne into space, in typical Tom style he stayed strong, and his run brought him into the box where he neatly powered the ball into Kanturks goal, 2-0 to Carrigtwohill.
From there, the lads continued to pile the pressure onto Kanturk, with time quickly running out on Kanturk they upped the ante however the defence remained strong and kept Kanturk at bay.
