In the second half Broadford scores were challenged on two occasions, both off the hurley of Diarmuid Moloney. The first challenge of wide after a point from play taken from the wing around 30-metres out where the ball just narrowly passed between the posts and the second challenge of a square ball after an initial goal attempt from Padraig Hickey shot from a difficult angle just meters out from the back line. The ball hit the keeper and rebounded back in to play for Diarmuid to rush in to bat the ball to the back of the net. The final decisions, both in Broadford’s favour, contributed to raised tensions and feisty play towards the end of the match with Killanena offering no let up and working hard to keep the pressure on Broadford to the very end.
