It is hard to believe that Cill Dara actually had more procession in this game than their hosts Gorey but the score-line reflected the ruthlessness of the Gorey attack. Cill Dara opened the scoring after 12 minutes with a Rory Conway penalty and things looked promising when the Gorey No. 8 got a yellow card 7 minutes later, However they failed to capitalize on the numerical advantage and behind 2 minutes later when Gorey crossed the line for the first of their 7 tries. When Cill Dara failed to make touch from a defensive penalty 6 minutes later Gorey attached from the half way line and extended their lead to 11 points with a second converted try. Rory Conway narrowed the gap after 33 minutes with an other penalty but when Conor Smyth received a yellow card 3 minutes before the break for a high tackle Gorey scored from the subsequent penalty to lead 21 - 6 at half time.
The second half didn't get any better for the visitors and despite another penalty from Rory Conway after 7 minutes Gorey were clinical when they got into the Cill Dara half scoring tries in the 43rd, 58th and 67th minute. The game concluded when the Gorey winger intercepted a pass on their own goal line when Cill Dara looked likely to score and ran the length of the pitch to score the final try of the game. Full time result Gorey 47 Cill Dara 9.
