Despite playing with wind advantage in the opening half, Mayfield had Douglas pinned back for the opening seven minutes. They failed to convert this advantage into scores as Doulgas net-minder Cian O\u2019Leary pulled off two point-blank saves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mayfield also missed the chance of scoring a two-pointer, before the tide turned in Douglas\u2019 favour. The second half was one-way traffic in favour of Douglas, as they got four two-pointers, including one from a free.<\/p>\n
Douglas opened the scoring when Donnacha Reddington set up Sean O\u2019Leary for the game\u2019s opening goal.<\/p>\n
Mayfield opened their account with a point by Dilan O\u2019Donovan in the 11th minute.<\/p>\n
Sean O\u2019Leary of Douglas exchanged points with Mayfield\u2019s David O\u2019Neill, midway through the opening half, before persistent fouling was proving to be costly for Mayfield.<\/p>\n
Jamie O\u2019Brien converted two frees for Douglas. Chris O\u2019Keeffe also pointed a free. Mayfield responded with a point from play by Nicky Kelly. Eddie Scanlon and Ronan O\u2019Keeffe also pointed a free each. This left the half-time scoreline reading 1-4 to 0-5 in favour of Douglas.<\/p>\n
With the elements in their favour for the second half, Douglas had Mayfield on the back foot from the resumption. O\u2019Brien landed two scores, including a free from outside the Mayfield 40-metre arc in the opening minutes of the second half. Mayfield responded when Dan Lucey was credited with a point from a free in the 40th minute. This was followed by a point from play by Dilan O\u2019Donovan.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Brien landed his third two-pointer midway through the second half. Mayfield replied with a point by Shane O\u2019Donovan and a pointed free by Ronan O\u2019Keeffe. This left Douglas leading by 1-10 to 0-9.<\/p>\n
Padirag McGrath and Sean O\u2019Leary each tagged on points from play for Douglas, while Ronan O\u2019Keeffe converted his third free for Mayfield, with five minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Douglas had Mayfield on the defensive for the remainder of the game. Harry Quilligan landed their fourth two-pointer.<\/p>\n
With the game effectively over as a contest, wayward kick-outs were proving to be Mayfield\u2019s undoing. McGrath was winning possession for Douglas, scoring a point, which was followed by a goal, with time almost up. The final whistle was greeted with scenes of jubilation by the Douglas supporters.<\/p>\n
