Annacurra yet again made the long trip to Donard for a game they were hoping was going to be the status clincher for them to stay in Division 1. With heavy rain falling through the week the pitch felts the effects and was very close to being announce unplayable. Both teams took to the field with great determination to win and finish the season on a high and every player on the pitch came off the field feeling the effects of the boggy ground.

Both teams traded points in the opening stages and it was Annacurra that went into half time 2 points in the lead.

During the second half Donard started to get on top and took a two point lead before Patrick Moules pointed a free and shortly after Shane O Keeffe pounced to poke the ball into the back of the Donard net. With time running out Donard pushed hard for an equalizer but great defending from Annacurra saw Michael Healy kicking the final point of the game to ensure victory.

This win meant that Annacurra will once again be playing Division 1 football and the Carnew game is seen as null and void and no need in being played.

Team: Michael Doyle, Darren Thompson, Shane Mac Allister, Liam Moules, Martin O Brien, Alan Byrne, Ciaran Byrne, John Thompson, Peter Clancy, Michael Healy, Sean O Neill, Patrick Moules, Shane O Keeffe, Pierce O Brien, Ian McDonald.
