Over 40 schools took part in each of these competitions at the outset with the finals being whittled down to just 7 schools. A high standard of football throughout made for tough games for all involved. The boys final saw Kilmacrennan NS come up against Tooban NS. Having won the earlier game in the section, the boys from Inishowen fancied their chances in the final. However, the boys from Kilmacrennan put on a magnificent display and dominated the final, winning on a scoreline of 4-5 to 0-2.
The girls competition was also keenly contested with the girls from Woodlands facing Scoil Naomh Fionán, Falcarragh in the final. In a tough contest it was the girls from Falcarragh who won out in the end and captured the silverware.
