The resumption saw the Fox and Hounds steal in for a win as Ian Irwin won 2-1 ahead of Gerry sproul but it was again the home side who took a further point as John Mahony won 2-0 against Ronan Hourihan with the final say going to the away side as Brian Wall was a 2-0 winner against Paul Mealy.
The Red Cove Inn kept themselves in contention for a semifinal berth as they accounted for the Cow in their home game also in the Fosters second division league, Brendan O’Driscoll, Vincie Noonan, Tony Ring and Frank Brothers were the home teams winners while wins for the Cow came from Brian O’Sullivan, Arthur Lonergan and Craig O’Dwyer.
