D’imir BME a gcéad chluiche as baile sa cheathrú babhta sa sraithchomórtas aréir.  Thosaigh BME go han-mhaith, ag scóráil an chéad chúilín don chluiche ach chuir Ard Cloch agus Teach Strafáin an liathróid thar an trasnán mar fhreagra. Thrádáil an dá fhoireann cúpla cúilín agus bhí an scórchlár 6 chúilín do AS agus 5 chúilín do BME. Thosaigh AS ag cur brú ollmhór ar cúlaí BME. Rinne BME obair iontach ag coinneáil AS siar faroar agus níor bhfuair siad ach (1 – 02). Scór leath ama: Ard Cloch agus Teach Strafáin (1 – 07) BME (0 – 6).

Tháinig faobhar faoi BME ag tús an dara leath agus chuir siad (2 – 01) ar an scórchlár. D’obair AS suas an pháirc chun (2 – 02) a scóráil. Chuir BME an liathróid thar an trasnán mar fhreagra ach thosaigh AS ag cur leis an scórchlár le (2 – 01) eile. Fuair BME dhá chúilín agus fuair AS (1 – 01) chun crích a chur leis an gcluiche. Scór Deiridh: Ard Cloch agus Teach Strafáin (6 – 11) BME (2 – 10).

Maith sibh don fhoireann aréir agus mí-ádh. Beidh an céad chluiche eile ar an Aoine, 26ú Bealtaine ag an bpáirc in aghaidh Baile Ellis. Tá an cluiche ag tosnú ag 19:30.
