Corn: Frank Cahill 2005
Réalt na Mara, Sandymount 4-02
Scoil Naomh Olaf, Balally 3-01(After extra time)
Extra-time was needed, before Réalt na Mara, Sandymount finally defeated Scoil Olaf 4-2 to 3-1 in a thrilling Corn Frank Cahill final. 
Olaf's included in their team Harrison Brewer, whose father Mike is a former New Zealand rugby international, and they have also enjoyed training sessions this season with Dublin captain David Curtin 
However, despite a fantastic team effort which included great performances from Captain Eoin Murphy, David Byrne and Daniel Coen, Olaf's just fell short against a multi-talented Réalt na Mara side that showed tremendous character to come from 3-0 to 1-0 down to capture the title. 
Jordan Barnes, Michael Kilroy, Jamie Toner, and Matthew Groves were all outstanding for the Sandymount school, while super-sub Emmett Lyons came off the bench to get the crucial goal that sent the game into extra-time. 
Just 90 seconds into that extra-time period  Jamie Toner then got the goal that put Réalt na Mara in front, before Jordan Barnes added an insurance point in the second period of extra-time.Olaf's will take heart from such a spirited performance given that 22 of their panel will be under age again next year. 

Scorers: 
Réalt na Mara, Sandymount: J Barnes (1f, 1 '45) 1-2, J Turner, M Groves, E Lyons 1-0 each. 
Scoil Naomh Olaf, Balally: D Coen (1f) 1-1, K Connell, D Byrne 1-0 each.

Réalt na Mara, Sandymount: S Berney; A Byrne, R Lacey; C Saunders, J Barnes; M Kilroy, A Bolton; C Crowe, S Keating; J Toner, M Groves. 
Scoil Naomh Olaf, Balally: E O'Shea; A Blunden, M Norgrove; A Johnson, D Byrne; D Coen, J McCarthy; E Murphy, H Brewer; K Connell, K Power-Kelly. Subs: R Lewins, S Meagan, S Kilty, C Sullivan, D Warren, R Brady, C Pollard, J Connors, Anika Babel, J Nolan, M McGuirk, A Kyne-Delaney, Adam Babel.
