Steven O’Reilly then drew things level with another quick point. Cloughaneely then got into gear scoring four unanswered points from McGee, Gallagher and Mark Harley assisted by Ciaran McGeady.
Gallen clawed another one back for the visitors but this was quickly cancelled out by a McGee free in the 48th minute. MacCumhaills came back to within a point with 10 minutes left thanks to points from Stephen Mulligan, Steven O’Reilly and Martin Gallagher.
