An early Home side point seemed to indicate that they would push on for victory but 3 Drums points from Byrne left it 0-9 to 0-7 to the Blues as the 3rd quarter ended.

Boardsmill pushed on to led by 4 points with time almost up but wing back Oisin Reilly got forward to rattle the net and a late late Steven Crosby point gave Drumconrath a draw as they faced the long journey home.
