Drumcullen entered the championship as the defending champions.[3][4]
The final was scheduled to be played on 22 October at St Brendan's Park in Birr, between Coolderry and Drumcullen, but was not played as the latter team was unable to field a team because of several injuries. Coolderry subsequently claimed the game and the title without a final being played.[5]
