The second half continued on the same vein as the first with Conor Johnston scoring two more points to take his total to seven and the hard working Ruairi McCann got his first point. Rossa got off the mark with with two points from Corey Walsh and one from Gavin McGrath but Kickhams came back with a goal from Joe McAteer after great work from Fintan Close. Kickhams added three more points one each from Jamie, Ruairi and Kealan McCann. To their credit a badly undersrenght Rossa kept plugging away and the got some reward when they scored the last two points from Setanta Mac Domhnall and Maitui Mac Thiarnain.
