Kilrush Rangers  1   Sporting Ennistymon  1
With weather conditions hampering travel, Ennistymon were forced to play the early stages of this game with only eight players. They survived this and when up to their full complement had the better of the first half, which ended scoreless. Indeed, on the day, both sides created opportunities but failed to convert these into scores. With 10 minutes to go, Kilrush scored through Terry Herlihy, who beat three defenders and it looked as if this strike would win the day. However, Sporting levelled five minutes later, when Eoin Brennan headed home from a corner kick.
