All scores came in the second half, with Luke Morkan, Cian Spillane and Páidí Williams (free) on target. In the semi-final MacDonaghs got the better of Moyne-Templetuohy on a 4-0 to 0-1 scoreline. A goal from a Páidí Williams free gave MacDonaghs an interval lead. In the second half a brace of green flags from Sam Darcy and another from Conor Quinlan helped book a place in the decider against Roscrea. MacDonaghs gave it their best shot in the final but Roscrea proved too strong and emerged winners on a 4-2 to 0-2 scoreline. Scorers: Sam Darcy (0-1) and Páidí Williams (0-1 free). Panel: Páidí Williams, Kieran Spain, Patrick Hayes, Cian Spillane, Joseph Donnelly, Luke Morkan, Conor Quinlan, Owen Farrell, Sam Darcy, Daniel Costello, Ben Cahalan and Phelim Quinlisk.
