However, this was all to change when Omagh Academy arrived to play in Dungannon. The home team opened their account when Peter Cashel was able to take advantage of good work from his pack to touch down for an unconverted try in the corner. The Omagh team responded positively to this setback to score a try through Adam Longwell. Andy Allen added the conversion to see his team into a 7-5 lead. The Royal School team took play deep into Omagh territory from the restart. The team showed great patience going through numerous phases before Andrew
Clingan blasted his way over the Omagh line to touch down for a try. Jack Milligan added the extras to give his team a 12-7 lead. Close to the interval a good running line from Robert McLean created the opportunity for Stuart Moore to run in for an unconverted try and give his team a 17-7 halftime lead. The Omagh team caused a few moments of concern for the RS Dungannon defence in the second half with Greg Deazley proving to be a livewire. However, the visitors spent a long period of time in defending their line which remained intact despite the best efforts of Andrew Clingan and Adam Clarke. Just before the final whistle, Peter Cashel did manage to breach the Omagh defence when he scored a try having outflanked his opposite number. Jake Finlay converted the try to ensure a 24-7 win for his Royal School, Dungannon team.
