In the bottom half clash between Coonagh and Kilmallock, both sides produced a thriller which ended 5-4. Kenneth Meehan opened the scoring for the home side but they were pegged back by a resiliant Kilmallock shortly afterwards. Two quickfire goals from Rory O’Neill and Brion Moriarty sent Coonagh into a commanding 3-1 lead with the visitors pulling one back before half-time. Ger Myles was set up by Moriarty to score his side’s fourth before Moriarty grabbed his second goal of the game. Kilmallock rallied and made it a nervy ending as they scored two goals to make it a one goal game. However, Coonagh held on and are now just two points behind Nenagh in 6th place in the race for a top half finish.

Coonagh United: Josh Sheehan, Rory O’Neill (Ryan Earls), Joey Sheehan, Kenneth Meehan, Luke Doherty, Ronan Ryan, Darren Martin, Ronan Lynch (Tommy Grimes), Ian Considine, Brion Moriarty (Jack O’Donovan), Ger Myles
