In Cusack Park in Ennis, it took extra-time before Clonlara defeated O’Callaghan Mills by 0-26 to 3-16. O’Callaghan Mills lead by 1-8 to 0-8 at the midway mark in normal time with Jamie Lynch hitting the first goal of the game.

At the midway mark of extra-time the sides were still deadlocked at 3-14 to 0-23 with Adrian Donovan striking home O’Callaghan Mills third goal before Clonlara eventually prevailed by a point.
