In Dublin the Minor team competed in the Division 1, U14 Final against Templeogue, Leinster.

This was a very exciting, closely contested match which they drew 3-3 in games and 6-6 in sets, winning by 147-137 on count-back to points to claim the Irish U14 Championship.

Many congratulations to the boys on their remarkable success; it was a fantastic achievement to win both the Ulster and Irish Championships.
