Comer came back strong towards the end of the half and went in at half time following a fantastic goal by Martin Hawley. The second half started like the fitst finished with Comer well on top and they built their lead to 9 points helped by an Anthony Kavanagh goal.

Comer picked up the pace again to notch on 2 points and Clara taking one to leave 2 points between the sides at the finish.
