As was to be expected the tempo in the second half nowhere near matched that of the first as Mitchelstown had the opening three points courtesy of J Sheehan P McGee and S Cahill. Millstreet to their credit  kept battling and raised two white flags whilst Mitchelstown kept the scoreboard ticking over with points from substitute A O Brien, P McGee, S Walsh and J O Sullivan to run out convincing winners..
