Moore upped the pace and were back in front two minutes later. A well taken corner kick by man of the match Andy Nevin was headed to the Dysart net by the Moore centre half Ronan Keogh. Five Minutes later Moore conceded a free kick on the edge of their penalty area and Johnny Kiernan’s drive took a deflection before nestling in the Moore net.
