Just before half time Joe Booth was adjudged to have been shoved in the area by a Quills defender. Penalty.

Get in

Quills almost reply immediately, but the ball just didn't fall for them in the right areas, story of the game for them

Half-time and Quilligans are 1-0 down. Only a draw is needed though to secure the Championship
