Setanta started off early in the match with a fine point from play from Shane McCarthy; followed by an excellent goal from U10 Shane Guhry who incidentally put in an overall fine display. Shane McCarthy scored a second point from play and this was followed by a fine effort from the hurl of Ray McNamara. The half time score was Setanta 1-4; St. Mullins 1-3.

In the second half, Shane McCarthy scored four well taken frees and one "65". But, the boys couldn't get away from St. Mullins who rallied and scored a point (from a free) and an excellent goal. Setanta led by a solitary point coming into the last few minutes of the second half and only for a couple of missed opportunities from St. Mullins; trojan defending from Ronan Sullivan at full back and last but not least an excellent save from Joe Bermingham the final result may have been different.

Setanta next play Carlow Town Hurling Club on Saturday 30th June.
