It was decided that all teams would play in section A in both hurling and football. Sean Ward was elected chairman to succeed Gilbert Williams who stepped aside after ten years at the helm. The following officers were elected: Presidents – Fr. Tom Hannon, Fr. Enda Burke, Paddy Quinlan and Tom McLoughney; Chairman – Sean Ward; Secretary – Sean Lawlor; P.R.O. – Gilbert Williams and North Board Rep – Sean Lawlor.
