    There was a scoring burst in the early minutes of  this game which was played in mild dry spring like conditions. Tones pointed from the throw after 30 seconds. Ben Hoey was on target for the hosts   with  two points (1f). A quickly taken free by Luke Caffrey after he was fouled sent Briain Conlon on his way and he blasted to the visitors net.David McKeever then fired over and Simons led by 1—3 to 0—1 after five minutes.​  Another  two frees by Hoey  and Padraig McKeever  were added before the returning Sean Tobin  put his name on the score sheet with a fine effort. Two more McKeever points (1f) before Luke Caffrey split the posts put Simons into a 1—9 to 0—4 lead with twenty eight minutes gone.​ Brian McGrath sent in ​ a probing ball which Luke Caffrey won under duress and he set up Tobin whose shot hit the  butt of the post and rebounded  for Padraig McKeever drive a ground shot to the net. Simonstown went into dressing room at the break leading 2--9 to 0—5.​
