Played on a league system Killavullen needed a win to secure a place in the knock-out stages. They were deadlocked on 5 occasions. Having led in the closing stages Killavullen looked like holding out for a close win.

There was a further exchange of points with Rovers Garry Deane placing Ben Nyhan for a good point. Michael Walsh with a late free for Killavullen closed the gap at the break 0-8 to 0-7.
