Following on from the success of its inaugural competition in 2014, the tournament once again attracted a bumper entry of participants and was also well supported by spectators during the week.

The torunament was won by Ennis Hamilton and John Carson, whose long trip from Donaghmore proved a fruitful one as they beat the Cookstown Parochial duo of L and Colm McHugh in the final.
