It did not get any better for the losers after the break as Kane and Lee Scully grabbed two more goals which copper fastened their advantage. Hartnett was on target for the Gaeltacht boys in the second half, as Setanta eased home with Conor McGettigan also getting in on the scoring act as well and Ritchie Kee hit 0-4, and Setanta had seven scorers in all.
