YM had spent a few years in the higher leagues and were certain to bring a talented team to the Cottonmount. And so it proved, although Ophir streaked ahead in the early stages and looked as if they would swamp the visitors. On the 5th minute Ophir scrum half Karl Davis chipped over the opposition defence and dribbled the ball football style over the line to touch down. Full back David Walker converted. Then just 8 minutes later out half James Milligan put in a repeat performance touching down after another kick ahead. Walker again converted and Ophir led 21 — 0.

Neil Gray was having an outstanding game from No 8 and it was from one of his penetrating runs from the base of a scrum that set up the first try. The Ophir pack carried the momentum forward into the oppositions 22 before the ball was spun wide to David Walker to step in off his wing and score his first try for 2 years. He then converted his own score with a precise kick in windy conditions.
