Despite giving up ground rights to get this game played Halliburton ran out comfortable winners. After Halliburton opened the scoring inside 30 seconds through Kyle Jacques RGU levelled things with a goal from Craig Thain. A fine 30 yard strike from Allan Gebbie and a Nicol Webster brace proved too much for the students in the second half.
