Thanks to all the players for their efforts throughout the year, and to the management of Paddy Flynn, Wayne Kelly and Willie Forbes for their dedication throughout. Team: James McCormack, Jamie Noonan, Charlie Byrne, Adrian Nestor, Niall Dowler, Matthew Daly, Graham Forbes, Kevin Diffley, Thomas Mulvihill, Robert Flynn, Pedro Byrne, Cian Masters, Kyle Fitzmaurice, Conor Keegan, Ronan Lennon.
