Clonfad travelled to Ballinasloe on a bad road at the best of times, but this did not dull their enthusiasm, a hard fought contest it proved to be. Then in the 29th minute Mosch Loughnane put the town lads in front 1-0. Then just before the break the visitors equalised 1-1.

The second half was a real good match, with both teams playing some fine football the deadlock was broken when Mark Duffy headed into the Clonfad net in the 25th minute of the second half. So it remained until the final whistle.Ballinasloe Town A.F.C. 2-1 Clonfad A.F.C.
