In the opening semi final played in the neighbouring Ballyhaunis GAA Grounds, Westport overcame Castlebar with ease to gain entry to the showpiece final. In Tooreen, the second semi final was contested by neighbours Caiseal Gaels and Tooreen with Caiseal Gaels eventually coming out on top on a 3-4 to 3-2 scoreline in an exciting battle.

The 'A' final followed close after as defending champions Westport turned on the style to land the title again in convincing fashion.
