Rearcross took the lead on 43 minutes when James Gough's shot squeezed just in side the upright, James Gough was on song and made it 3-1 ten minutes later when he carved through the visiting defence before finishing beautifully to the net. James Gough grabbed his hat-trick in the 56th minute after connecting with David Murray's cross and left the Borrisoleigh keeper with no chance, Borrisoleigh brought it back to 4-2 in the 62nd minute with a well worked goal, the league champions added a third rather fortuitously a minute later however it wasn't enough to deny Rearcross the victory and a well deserved runners up spot in the First Division League.
