Indoor League - Finals

Semi-final:
TRR 2 (Alan Bothwell, Mitch Darling) Railway Union 1 (Paul O'Brien)
Three Rock, the only surviving semi-finalists from last year, put out Railway in a tight, low-scoring affair. Rovers led through a switch left to Bothwell and Darling added to the lead before Paul O'Brien pulled one back with a penalty stroke

Monsktown 6 (Gareth Watkins, Ian Horsfield 2, Fran Lee, Zac Dutton, Alec Barrett) Glenanne 5 (Eddie O'Malley, Paul Fitzpatrick 2, Joe Brennan 2)
Monkstown squeezed by tournament returnees Glenanne with a flurry of goals in the closing stages, Franny Lee scoring the decisive goal in the final minute.


Final:
TRR 5 (Liam Canning, Gary Ringwood, Ezra Handelman, Peter McConnell, Andy McConnell) Monkstown 4 (Filip Jaros 2, Gareth Watkins 2)
Three Rock claimed the indoor league title for the first time in over ten years with captain and coach Liam Canning picking up the umpteenth time (he first took the title in 1983 with Avoca). Monkstown took the lead initially before Rovers took the lead in the 18th minute and held onto it throughout. Monkstown got back into the game at 4-3 and took off their keeper Craig Ellis in an attempt to equalise. Rovers, though, capitalised with Andy McConnell scoring the decisive goal.
