They increased their lead in the 21st minute when John Mike Dooley scored yet another goal. Then came a rare goal from Mark Walshe who came up from the back to give his side a commanding 3-0 lead but just before half time it was Pa Bailey who hammered a free kick all the way to the AC net but Eamon Fitzgerald scored from the kick off and that left the half time score at 4-1 to the country side. The second half was a messy affair as AC never going to lose and despite Gerry o'Sullivan scoring a penalty for Connolly Park, John Mike Dooley made the game safe in the 82nd minute with his second goal and AC had taken three more valuable points.
