Dingle had the wind the opening half and they kicked the opening six points, with Tom O’Sullivan four while Dylan Geaney and Darragh O’Sullivan kicked a point each. An Ghaeltacht were finding it hard to make any headway against the gale but they won two frees in the 25th and 26th minutes and Dara Ó Se converted both.
But Dingle added two more points from Tom O’Sullivan and Barry D O’Sullivan to lead 0-8 to 0-2 at the interval.
The rain disappeared and sun shone for the second half as the Three Sisters appeared but the wind never abated as Paul Geaney came on, and Dingle though adding one point in the second half from Tom O’ Sullivan in the 50th used all their experience and game management to curtail the home side.
Three points in the third quarter is all that An Ghaeltacht could manage though, one each from Dara Ó Se, Pádraig Óg Ó Sé and An Ghaeltacht’s best player, Cian Ó Murchu.
Scorers for Dingle: Tom O’Sullivan (0-6, 4frees), D O’Sullivan, B O’Sullivan and D Geaney (0-1 each)
Scorers for An Ghaeltacht: D Ó Sé (0-3frees), P J Mac Láimh, P Óg Ó Sé and C Ó Murchú (0-1 each)

Cian O Grady, back in the starting 15, he too brought the scoring boots with 3 long range scores and points a piece for Anto Kelliher, Alan Fitz, Patrick O Donoghue and a fine point too for Mike Scanlon after a surging run from the half back line. Always in control Castlegregory GAA will be happy with this performance as build up to the semi-final v An Ghaeltacht. Lios Póil were best served by Cathal O Sullivan at full forward, Matthew Grfffin and Gareth NoonanSemi-final 1 - Abha Na Scáil 0-05 Daingean Uí Chúis 1-15In the first semi-final, Dingle were comfortable winners against Annascaul in the Paddy Kennedy Memorial Park last Saturday.
A goal inside the opening five minutes for Paul Geaney set the town side on their way and from there they never really looked back. Dingle led 1–10 to 0–3 at half-time with the rate of scoring slowing down for both sides in the second half, albeit that Dingle managed to extend their advantage by a further two points at the finish for a thirteen-point success.Semi-final 2 - Caisléan Ghriaire 1-06 An Ghaeltacht 2-04
The second semi-final was a much more competitive affair with An Gaeltacht squeaking out a single point success on the road.
A first half goal for Castlegregory's Maurice O’Connell gave Castle a fighting chance and they carried a lead at the break 1–5 to 0–2.
Second half goals from Shane Ó Grifín and Pádraig Óigí Ó Sé helped turn the tide, however, and An Ghaeltacht advanced to the decider with their great rivals.
