Playoffs

edit

Two groups required playoffs. A week after their drawn game, St. Mary's and Bunninadden met again to decide second place in Group A. St. Mary's won out, though only after extra time. In Group C, Ballymote had defeated Easkey, but in the playoff the result was reversed, as Easkey edged through by the minimum.
