A free by Ciaran Duffy and a point by half back Mikey Daly put the minimum in it but Doohamlet came back again and still led by a goal after 10 minutes. in the following 10 minutes the Geraldines kicked five unanswered point to go 2 ahead but Doohamlet kicked the next 3 to go ahead by 1 with five minutes left. Both teams had their chances but then in injury time a Mark Mc Cabe free dropped short but Kevin Quinn managed to deflect the ball over the bar to secure a draw for the amber and blue. That left the full time score Drumhowan 0-13 Doohamlet 1-10.
