12 May 2008. Patrick Murphy and Niall O’Neill helped Ballymore to an early lead before Conor Hyland goaled for Kildangan. Ryan Moran and Robert Hanley put Kildangan ahead with points, before Shane Barrett put Ballymore in front again with a well taken goal to leave his team 1.4 to 1.3 ahead at the break.
The second half proved to be just as tight. Scott Duffy finished a good Kildangan move with a goal only for Shane Barrett to cancel it out immediately with an excellent goal for Ballymore. Conor Hyland and Jamie Kearns for Kildangan and Niall Murphy for Ballymore swapped points before Scott Duffy capped a great performance with his second goal with just minutes left.
Kildangan held on for a 3.7 to 2.5 victory in an excellent game between two very evenly matched teams who both gave their all. The skills on display by both teams was excellent, with great catching and kicking.
