Killeaney equalised from a fine header before hat-trick hero Aaron Smith gave Ballingarry the lead again just before the break. The second half was just seconds old when Smith again sent Ballingarry 3-1 up with a tap in following great work from Killian Begley. Killeaney wouldn’t lie down and reduced the arrears again with a fine effort from an acute angle. Smith made it 4-2 when he rounded off the best move of the game before man of the match Alan Murphy scored a glorious fifth following a magnificent solo run from his own half.
