Simonstown  3—11  (1—9)  Summerhill 1—16 (1—6)

   Simonstown  second team  panel made the journey to Summerhill on Sunday morning and captured the league points on offer with last minute  free by  Jack Melia. Every match in Summerhill has  a championship flavour to it.   Early first half points from Jack Melia (2),Mark Devlin and Tadgh Hanrahan sent wind assisted Simonstown into 0—5 to 0—2 lead with fifteen  minutes played. Three further points  Shane McEnery (1f) ,Jack Melia (1f) and Hanrahan form play left the visitors in front 0—8 to 0—5 at the end of normal time. Aaron Farrelly  with a fine pass found Jack Melia in space and he finished to the net. Hanrahan fielded the resultant kick out and slotted over to put Sims 1—9 Sumhill 0—6  ahead at the break.

   Summerhill had a great start to second  half bagging    1—6 without reply to  leaev in front by three 1—12  Sims 1—9 at the three quarter stage.​ Aaron Farrelly broke the Navan mens barren spell with  well taken and  hard earned point. Shane Barry went on lung busting run and smashed to the net  to put  Sims a point up 210 to 112.  The Hill  tagged on three points (1F)  to go two  up 1—15 to 2—10  at the twenty minute mark. Barry again charged through the defence and planted in the Hill net and put his team one in front Sims 3—10 to 1—15 with seven  minutes  left.  A pointed  Hill free left the teams level  with five minutes remaining. The home team threw everything at  the Simon rearguard but they held  firm with block downs, intercepted passes and tight marking. Deep in injury time a counter attach led to  Jack Melia being fouled and he himself stroked  between the posts for the lead  with thirty two on the clock. There  were two further minutes of Summerhill attacking  play but Simonstown had the bit  between their teeth and held on.  ​
