Ballykelly started the game in fine fashion with 4 scores on the board through Andrew kelly, Daryl Cullen (2) & John Fitzgerald in the first 8 minutes. The downpour soon took its tole a couple of slips in the home defence saw a sallins man through on goal to fire home & raise a green flag. Sallins now very much back in the game fired over 2 frees to take the lead before a free from mcCormack levelled the game. Sallins finished the half stronger & raised another white flag to leave it 0-05 to 1-03 at the break. Ballykelly came out with real intent in the second period & got 3 scores from play through Dave Moore, Derek McCormack & Cullen with a Sallins score in between to leave the home side ahead by the minimum. Sallins dug deep to re-take the lead with 2 fine scores of their own but the home side finished far stronger with the final scores coming from McCormack & Cullen (2) to leave it 0-11 to 1-06.
