St. Patrick's, Dromard regained the Owen B. Hunt Cup after a fourteen-year wait, and it was a hard-earned title, having defeated the two leading lights of the 1980s - holders St. Mary's and Tubbercurry. St. Mary's were seen off emphatically after a quarter-final replay, bringing the curtain down on a remarkable era for the Sligo town club, and the Dromard side defeated Tubbercurry by a single point in the final.
