Sacred Heart Clonakilty's Julie Finn scored a brace of tries in the final. An O’Donovan line break brought Sacred Heart close again, but Finn was denied her hat-trick as Ciara Kelly held her up over the line. Some brilliant offloading rugby brought them close again, but a likely Keelin McCarthy try was called back for a forward pass. These schools will meet again in the Junior Cup final after Easter with Sacred Heart looking to complete a treble double. Scorers: Sacred Heart Clonakilty: Tries: K McCarthy, J Finn 2, R Llewellyn, N Hilliard, L Sexton 3; Cons: R Twomey 3, L O’Donovan 2, S Fleming.
