It was Omagh that started the game strongly and they took an early 3-0 lead when Stuart Ballentine was successful with a penalty opportunity with just four minutes on the clock.
Dromore responded in a positive manner and a blindside attack involving TJ Morris and Michael Watson resulted in the latter crossing for a try under the posts. Morris added the conversion to see the Dromore team into a 7-3 lead. A number of Dromore attacks followed soon after but good work from Mark Hopton-Brown, Macauley Killen and Sam Hamilton stopped any scores.
There was a period of intense play towards the end of the first half, with both back rows working hard to prevent the opposition from gaining quality possession at the breakdown. No team could force any other scores in the first half so Dromore led 7-3 at the break.
The Omagh team started the second half strongly with their driven maul tactic causing problems for the opposition. Eventually they were awarded a penalty, which Ballentine stepped up to convert.
Then, Morris and Watson combined, once again, to take play close to the Omagh line and a flowing move was finished well by Marcus Heath. Morris added the converted for a 14-6 lead.
Dromore then looked t turn the screw. Matthew McMaster carried the ball from deep and the ball was moved to Ashley Boyd who was illegally stopped five metres out. A quickly taken tapped penalty saw William Beatty send Kallem Travers in for a decisive try converted try.
Straight from the restart Jonnie Creighton displayed some nifty footwork to put pressure on the Omagh defence. He then linked with Travers whose great support line was rewarded with his second try and his team’s fourth of the night.
With the scoreline reading 26-6 with just five minutes remaining, Omagh pushed for a late consolation score but found no way through the well-organised defence.
Following the game Paul Stephens, representing the Nutty Krust Organising Committee, presented the Dromore flanker, Travers, with the Man of the March Award.
