Ardmore advance despite the brilliance of Barron

Ardmore 0-10 Clashmore 0-7

The winners enjoyed territorial dominance throughout that was never reflected on the scoreboard.

Clashmore in contrast were woeful in attack with all their seven points coming from outstanding midfielder Stephen Barron. The opening half was particularly poor with Ardmore far more dominant than their 0-3 to 0-2 interval lead suggested.
