There were 2 groups of 4, with each team in the group playing each other.

Ballyhale Shamrocks won their group and faced Thomastown in the final with Thomastown winning out in a thrilling final. All participants received a medal and goodie bag and the Thomas O'Shea Cup was presented to Thomastown by Nicky O'Shea Snr & Jnr in memory of their brother and uncle. A great morning was had by all and there were some excellent skills on display with great hurling games for each team.
