After a scrappy match Templeogue eventually held on for a narrow win to proceed to the next round. Neither side sparked into life until Templeogue's flanker Bernard Donoghue ran in a try minutes before half-time. The move was started by Brian Dowling who ran well in the loose all day and was also responsible for the conversion.
