In the quarter-final Athboy had their toughest encounter of the day when overcoming local rivals Rath Cairn by 2-1, before ousting Rathbeggan iin the semi by 4-1.

In the final top scorer Jamie McGrath (with sixteen goals on the day) broke the deadlock, before goals from Glenn Darcy and Luke Swaine ensured their victory,much to the delight of joint managers,John Brennan and Barry McGann.
