With six changes from the side which suffered that humiliating defeat, the Royals were a much different outfit in terms of personnel and mindset.
Corner-forwards Michael Newman and Sean Tobin were the architects of this victory with nine points between them, while wing-back Ciaran Lenihan was showing strongly and midfielders Conor Gillespie and Brian Meade were gaining the upperhand as the game progressed.
