Strabane v Killeeshil proved to be a thrill a minute encounter as it finished all level, 7-10 to 6-13, for a result that keeps both sides in the frame for the knockout stages of the league. First half goals from Oran White, Rian Coyle and Karl Friel helped give the Sigersons a healthy first half advantage. Killeeshil fought back in the second period to get their noses in front before Strabane had further gaols from Dara Langan and Gary Rouse. With the last kick of the game Killeeshil equalised from a free on a night when Ross Tourish was his ever consistent self in the Strabane defence.
