In the first Semi-Final 1st Portrush edged out 1st Ballywatt , taking the match 2-0. The second semi-final however was a much closer affair, with local rivals 1st Garvagh and 1st Kilrea involved in a nail biting affair. 1st Garvagh ran out eventual winners by 2 sets to one

The Final between 1st Garvagh and 1st Portrush was again a very evenly contested match, with 1st Garvagh running out eventual winners by two sets to nil, but with the narrowest of margins in both sets.
