With great character and determination St Manchans began to turn things around getting them right back into contention with Keith Keegan starting the Scóring with an excellent point but it wasn’t until the final three minutes of the half that St Manchans really began to get into the game with two excellent points by Jamie Stenson and Keith Beirne pointed in quick succession and with a minute of the half remaining Keith Keegan struck for a decisive goal.
