When Bosco went three points to no score up in the first four minutes of this game, Dundrum must have thought that they were in for a hiding. However, certain incidents during football matches can change the course of a game. The incident in question was an aerial defying penalty save by Dundrum keeper Colm King from a Bosco spot kick after five minutes of play. The penalty save gave Dundrum renewed hope and from this moment on they never looked back as they powered their way to an eight point victory.

The re-invigoration in Dundrum's ranks began in the best possible manner. A quick free from Paul McComiskey gravitated it's way in to Cormac Venney's hands in the full forward line. Venney made a splendid catch and when faced with the prospect of Andy Coleman in the Bosco net, Venney made no mistake and quickly restored parity. This goal was an instant reply to Bosco's 0-03 and left the game level after eight minutes of play.

The Duns followed up their major with three scores on the trot. Aaron Doyle's probing run forward was rewarded with a fine point while Conor McShane and Chris Hogg also got in on the act with a point apeice. Bosco replied with a Neil Tumilty free which was incidentally his third free of the night. Yet the Newry men looked stunned and seemed to be clueless as to the way forward for themselves.

Dundrum went on to finish the half in style. Venney added a point to his goal while Conor McShane bagged his second of the night. The profilic Paul McComiskey then popped up with a double before Bosco's Marty Duggan brought proceedings to a close with a fine effort to leave Dundrum in control by five points at the break.

As expected Bosco came out all guns blazing in the 2nd half. Collie Keenan and Neil Tumilty pointed a free apeice which narrowed Dundrum's lead to three. However, Paul McComiskey got the Duns firing on all cylinders soon after when he glanced over a free. McComiskey was to the fore again a minute later when he played a sublime long range pass in to the awaiting Cormac Venney. The in-form Venney made easy work of evading his marker Francie Boyle before un-selfishly offloading the ball to the incoming Chris Hogg. Hogg lived up to his nickname 'Kicker' as he slammed the ball to the Bosco net to gave the Duns an unassailable seven point lead.

After the goal Bosco caught the Duns on the bounce as Neil Conlon pointed but McComiskey was in bullish mood and replied instantly with two real gems to restore Dundrum's seven point lead.

As the game closed out Dundrum began to use the ball more wisely and opted to maintain possession at every instance. McComiskey and Tumilty swopped scores on no less than two occasions as Dundrum completed their scoring with a 2-12 total. Tumilty's two frees meant that Bosco ended up with 0-10.

In the final minute Dundrum nearly landed their third goal of the night. McComiskey once again delivered a killer ball in to the Bosco defence. Substitute Declan Kavanagh pounced on it immediately but his placed shot screamed just wide off the posts and Dundrum's hopes of a perfect ending were diminished.

Bosco came in to this game with a 100% record but in the end they had no answer to Dundrum's slick, fast moving forward line. All six of the Dun's attackers were in fine form and they were continually reassured by the competence of their defence and the superb performances of Aaron Doyle and John Hurley in midfield.
