Rathangan dominated the opening half and led at the brea 0-13 to 0-7 with Pauric Carty being their man scorer with six points.
At the break the winners introduced Sam Savage, and while he only lasted 12 minutes before going off injured,he did manage to find the net in that time and he was then replaced by Muiris Curtin, just returned from the US.
Things got worse for Ellistown as Rathangan never let up adding no less than 3-7 in the second half, the goals from Austin Doegan and Pauric Carty.
