The Corn tournament involved teams from 6th class playing against each other.

The top two teams after the group stage games were Sligo and Limerick and the Corn Final pitted these two teams against each other.

The final turned out to be a fantastic match with the result in the balance right up to the last few minutes. In the end, it was the Sligo team that gained a narrow victory.
