For once Saturday morning was quiet, with no games scheduled. On Saturday afternoon Cooke took on Dromore in a Championship One fixture at Shaw’s Bridge. A strong cold breeze blew diagonally across the pitch, initially in Dromore’s favour.
Cook took an early 5th minute lead from an Andrew McMurray penalty goal to lead 3-0 after 5 minutes. They dominated play for the next 15 minutes, camped in the Dromore 22. Dromore broke out and fast ball from a ruck saw Aaron Stewart over for a 20th minute try, converted by Adam McDonald to lead 7-3.
