Dromore took an early lead with a try on the 6th minute from Andrew Rutledge. TJ Morris added the extras to give the home side a 7 – 0 lead.

In a tight first half it was nearly a full half hour before the scoreboard was troubled again, the next score a penalty from Dromore’s Andrew Black on the 33rd minute to extend the lead to 10 – 0 and that’s how it stayed until the half time break

Things continued to be tight in the third quarter but Dromore were able to open up in the last fifteen minutes when they ran in four more tries for a convincing win.

Adam McDonald started the try fest on the 63rd minute before Rutledge scored his second, eight minutes later. Adam McDonald Junior then got in on the act with their 4th try before Morris finished things off by converting his own 80th minute try to add to two earlier second half conversions.

More than a bit of icing on the cake in the final score of 36 – 0 to Dromore but a well deserved win nonetheless.
