2 – 0 lead with a brace of tries from Kevin Smith. Captain's Choice nearly got one back with the last play of the first half but Olan Daly knocked on the ball with the try line at his mercy. In the 2nd half Neil Moynihan and Captain's Choice had two tries disallowed for diving. However they eventually scored when Paddy O'Connor went over. Not long after Captain's Choice were level when youngster Olan Daly made up for his earlier mistake by going over for a great try. The game finished level and went to extra time and the dreaded golden try. The Bungalow Inn won the toss and after nearly 15 minutes of deliberation chose to receive posession.

Junior Clubs opt for Change
The AGM of the Munster Junior Clubs decided at their meeting to end the experiment they have had in place for the last two seasons and go back to Three Divisions. The First Division will consist of the six sides that qualified for the Play Offs plus the top three sides in each section of the Liam Fitzgerald Cup with the remaining twelve clubs to compete in the Second Division. Mallow and Ballincollig will now play in the Second Division after their promotion from the Third Division with Fermoy and Charleville playing in the lower tier.
