Despite an impressive start, Kilruane MacDonaghs lost out to Nenagh Éire Óg in the semi-final on a 2-13 to 0-9 scoreline. MacDonaghs opened up a 0-4 to 0-1 lead in the first quarter. Nenagh gradually began to find their feet and Nenagh and hit 2-1 without reply before half-time to leave them nine points ahead at the break.
