Carnew0-18 Glenealy...1-13 County star Jonathan O'Neill opened the scoring for the holders with a pointed free in the first minute, and despite going on to add a further 0-9, he finished on the losing side. At the opposite end, former Railway Cup player Don Hyland bagged 0-8, which ultimately proved decisive.

The holders applied strong pressure in the second half, but Carnew stood firm to take the title.
