The second half also seen captain McEntaggart replaced by Alan Devlin as a pre-caution due to his recent foot injury and also seen Stephen Hand replaced by Stephen Mooney also as a pre-caution . Samuel Nevin would also be replaced with Thomas Hand coming on.

Thomas Hand was straight into the action after a great ball up the wing by John Walsh seen him twist and turned the left back and pulled a great ball back to David Farrell who was unlucky not to take his tally to two for the day. The game slightly petered out as Ladyswell took the foot off the gas and the six changes between both sides seen the game end without the away side really having tested the Ladyswell keeper.
