From there to the final whistle Kilconly battled back strongly and had reduced the deficit to just 2 points with two minutes to go.

In the final of ''Celebrity Bainisteoir'', Desmonds faced [[Mairead Farrell (Irish radio presenter)|Mairéad Farrell]]'s [[Ballymun Kickhams]] from [[County Dublin|Dublin]]. The match took place at [[Parnell Park]], Dublin on 29 October 2010. Early in the game the Desmonds scored the first point, and added 3 more without reply, but by half time Kickhams had fought back to lead Desmonds by 1 point at 1-3 to 0-5. In the second half [[Ballymun]] continued strong, scoring a further 2 points, but now it was Castleisland's turn to recover, and with ten minutes remaining both sides were level. Kickhams scored another point, to which Desmonds responded with a goal and began to look more dominant. Now under pressure, Kickhams missed one point-scoring opportunity, but succeeded with another to narrow the gap to a single point. As the game intensified, an incident occurred which resulted in a Desmond's player receiving a second yellow card, and being sent off with four minutes remaining. Despite this setback to the Castleisland side, Ballymun failed to capitalise, missing their best chance at scoring the vital point in injury time. Desmonds held their lead, to win the game by a single point with a final scoreline of 1-08 to 1-07. The match was featured in the episode of ''Celebrity Bainisteoir'' which aired on 31 October 2010.
