The early part of this game was point for point but just before half time saw Easts get a lift and vital score when Eamon Bowe punched the ball to the Mitchels net. At the break it was Easts ahead by 1-4 to 0-3. The second half continued to be tight but Easts kept the point’s column ticking over to maintain their advantage. Mitchels did get a goal but Easts always seemed to be able to respond and eventually held out for a 1-9 to 1-6 great championship victory. Easts had good performers in defense such as Mark Kehoe and Mossy Hartnett along with Conor Carroll and Alan Murphy also influential, while John Mitchels Paul McGurrin, Conor McElroy and Paul Doherty played well. 27
