Caulry hit the ground running with a goal from James Carey in the opening minute. Tom Cloonan defended well in the early stages of the game as Luke Buckley pointed on the 3rd minute. Mullingar Shamrocks’ first score came from a pointed-free on the 5th minute. A superb goal attempt from James Buckley was saved by the Mullingar goalie. However, the rebound was slotted neatly into the net by Rory Mullins. The Shamrocks’ boys worked tirelessly, kicking three points in quick succession to leave just three points the margin by the quarter-hour mark. Colm Shortall fielded well as Carey rattled the back of the opposition’s net for a second time. Mullingar Shamrocks hit a purple patch by the 19th minute, scoring an unanswered 2-1 to leave just two points between the sides.
