Rory Beggan, Jack McCarron, Kieran Hughes and Darren Hughes scored all four of the penalties that Scotstown took while Newbridge could only convert two of theirs. Scotstown goalkeeper Rory Beggan saves a penalty during the shoot-out. McAteer later fisted over the leveller at the end of extra-time to tie it up at 2-20 to 2-20, necessitating penalties.
