Na Piarsaigh trailed 1-10 to 1-9 but turned on the style in the second half when they restricted 2012 winners Kilmallock to a point. A Gavin O’Mahony goal helped Kilmallock to the interval lead but a Kevin Downes goal kept Na Piarsaigh in touch.

In the second half, the champions took over and had a second goal from Kevin Ryan.
