The junior and minor girls deciders went the way of teams from Cavan and Cork. 

Loreto Cavan just out lasted OLSPK Belfast in the junior contest by three points, 30-27. It was a similarly tight affair in the following game in the battle of St. Mary's schools. Mallow overcoming Naas to take the minor 'B' trophy back to the rebel county.
