Player-manager Brian McCabe got St Naul's first score of the second half in the 45th minutes after a neat move involving Johnston and Barry Rose, before they managed to avert further danger as Naomh Muire were caught guilty of over-playing it as O'Gara, Hugh 'Yank' and Owen Grant were involved in a move that was cut out by McBrearty when an off-load to the well-placed Harden could have reaped serious rewards.
