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.

Hopes for a successful season were high under new coach Ken Campbell and despite a deluge of rain before kick off the home side started brightly. From the start the Ophir pack were dominating the set pieces, consistently driving the Ballyshannon pack backwards on their scrums and winning clean ball at the lineout. The Ophir backline were also playing an open and attacking game, running at the Ballyshannon defence on every opportunity and after some dynamic forward play the backs were able to take an early opportunity. 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. Ophir have been guilty in the past of starting well but letting the opposition back in to the game however there is a fresh belief in the team and they were soon driving towards the Ballyshannon line again.
