With the final of the Championship, against Whitechurch, scheduled for the coming Sunday, this game with Glen Rovers served as a useful workout for Brian Dillons and enabled the selectors to empty the bench , which afforded the fringe players a chance to impress and stake a claim for inclusion in next weeks showpiece. Played on a tight pitch with heavy ground conditions, caused by the torrential rain of the previous few days, quality hurling was always going to be difficult.  However, goals from James Horgan, Tommy Boland and Martin Corbett had Brian Dillons leading by 3-4 to 1-4, at half-time, even though they had played against the stiiff breeze in the opening half.   With the Brian Dillons mentors introducing five substitutes,during the second half hour, the trend of the game remained the same, with the issue never in doubt and with further goals from Tommy Boland, Edmund Hussey and sub., John Shek, the "Killer Bees " eased into a comfortable, 6-11 to 2-8, victory.  Scorers for Brian Dillons were; Martin Corbett, 1-6 (1-5 frees); Tommy Boland, 2-2; James Horgan, 1-1; Edmund Hussey, 1-0; John Shek, 1-0; and Luke O"Connell, 0-2.
