From the bright start Dromore seemed to lose their way. Friends came back into the game when Ethan Salt<\/strong> scored, for Harry Moore<\/strong> to convert for a 7-5 lead, which they took into half time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 39th<\/sup> minute Moore penalty goal moved Friends out to 10-5. Dromore rallied and created space for Joel Johnson<\/strong> to score wide out on the right and level the game at 10-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of forward drives Alexander McKinley<\/strong> powered over midway out on the left. Moore\u2019s conversion had Friends leading 17-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dromore responded when Callum Bradley<\/strong> drove over from close range. Daniel Ennis McManus <\/strong>converted and again the scores were tied, this time at 17-17, after 54 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 56 minutes Riley Murphy<\/strong> got on the end of a clever dink over the advancing Dromore defence, to ground the ball half a metre from the dead ball line. Once more Friends were back in the lead, 22-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides had chances to score in the closing minutes but the score remained 22-17 in Friends favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
