St Brigid’s, chasing a fourth successive championship, had a one-point win over St. Faithleach’s, who were reduced to 14 men for the last 11 minutes.

A goal by Eddie Egan had the champions 1-3 to 0-2 ahead after 15 minutes but, with Ciarán and Diarmuid Murtagh impressing up front, Faithleach’s trailed by just 1-5 to 0-6 at the interval.
