Ibane Gaels beat Carbery Rangers in the replayed U21A football semi- final on December 23rd. They advanced to the final for the third year running which is quite an achievement.

Sub used; Diarmuid McCarthy. Waiting in the final were Newcestown, who Ibane had beaten in last year's final. They had regrouped after Ibane's first round win between the two sides and beat a strong Castlehaven side in the semi- final. The final was played on December 29th under lights in Dunmanway. The concession of three goals proved fatal and Newcestown won on a score of 3-07 to 1-09.
