It was a replay of the 2011 Senior Championship Final with Seneschalstown Vs. Na Fianna in the 2012 senior semi-final in Trim last Saturday. The evening turned into a blustery and wet evening weather wise but there was some good football on display. It took a while for both teams to get out of the traps but Na Fianna was first on the score sheet. Then Seneschalstown answered with a fine score by Ruth Sheridan. The game then went for 12 minutes without a score with Seneschalstown having a lot of possession and not converting.
