The East Cork side managed to deal with the conditions thanks mainly to the stellar work of midfielder Timmy Leahy and a first-half penalty from James Murphy. The left full-forward nailed a spot kick in the 6th minute to earn a three point advantage they managed to sustain ‘til half time (1-5 to 0-5).

Other stars on the day for Glanmire were veteran midfielder Mark Hopkins, half backs Brian Murphy and Fergal O’Brien and full-back Kieran Sheahan.
