Both sides were evenly matched throughout with goals in each half by Ronan Nevin leaving the the ninety minutes score at 2-2. Mark Cunningham and Alan Callanan twice hit the crossbar in the second half while at the other end Ben Creaven made a fantastic goal line clearance to send the match into extra time.

Real Tubber never gave up and scored late on to leave Craughwell holding on at the final whistle.
