That left the score after the 1st 20 Drumhowan 2- 4 Creamartin 2 – 5 . In the middle 10 mins both teams played some exciting football.
For the final 20 minutes Drumhowan came out a new side and played some exciting football. James Mc Adam doubled his tally by scoring another 2 goals and a point and Shay Treanor added another 3 points to his tally. Cremartin attempted a come back but due to some great defending by all defenders especially Gerard Quinn their efforts were thwarted .Aodhán Brennan added another 2 points one from a free and both Lorcan Halpin and Caolán Reilly added a point each. Cremartin still tried hard but they couldn’t get through thanks to a number of great saves by goalkeeper Mark Tomany.
