With a number of players playing their second game in the day this was a big ask for the division 3 team. However the team turned out and gave it their best. An early goal by James Sheeran after taking a pass from Colm Lynch  was replied to by 2 goals and a point for the Downs. Points from Paul ODonovan (2), Cathal Mannion  and Brian McCormack were replied to by five Downs points. The halftime score was 2-6  to 1-4 in favour of the Downs. Twelve second half points were shared by the teams and the Garrycastle  scorers were Jonathan Maguire,  Brian McCormack (2), Cathal Mannion (2) and James Sheeran.
