Boyne scored a second penalty in the 20th minute for a 6-5 lead but this was as good as it got for the Louthmen. After strong Tullamore pressure Aaron Deverell scored a brilliant try after a clever switch with Richie Hughes. The conversion by Aaron left it 12-6 at the break. Tullamore wasted no time in putting the game away in the second half. In the 42nd minute strong pressure on the visitors line led to a try by Mark Kennedy for 17-6. Five minutes later Tullamore were in again when Cathal Feighery got on the end of a driving maul. Aaron Deverell converted for a 24- 6 lead. Tullamore kept building the phases and in the 54th minute flying winger Jordan Conroy scorched 60 metres for a super individual try. Aaron Deverell converted for 31-6 and Boyne were dead and buried. To their credit the visitors responded with a breakaway converted try but Tullamore finished with a flourish and captain Ivor Scully sailed in for his second try which aaron converted for a 38-13 final score.
