After 25 minutes Inniscarra got a crucial score with Paul Hayes feeding Darragh  Murphy who drove the ball to the net. Fergal O'Leary then scored a point before good work by Sean Sheehan and Jack Egan set up David Kiely for a goal.  Bride Rovers responded with a goal of their own but good work by Padraig Holland set up David Kiely for another goal.
