Dromore pressed from the start and Cooke found themselves 12 – 0 down, in as many minutes, through tries by Josh Pentland and Graeme McCandless, one of which was converted by Lee Steenson.
Cooke responded but were unable to score. Further Dromore pressure yielded another McCandless try, also converted by Steenson.
Cooke finally got on the scoreboard when Ryan Flavell scored wide out and Alex Gourley added the conversion.
There was time for another Dromore unconverted try by Brian McClearn, on the stroke of half time to leave Dromore 26 – 7 up at the break.
Early pressure yielded an Alex Gourley penalty goal, before Dromore dominance in the loose allowed another McClure try, converted by Steenson.
A Cooke revival saw Andy Nelson and Flavelle score tries, converted by Michael Cartmill, but another McClure try, and conversion by Steenson, gave Dromore the last say in a highly entertaining game.
