During both games the two teams were under strength this is largely due to the time of year with both leagues finishing weeks before the two matches so it has been decided to play these matches during the league next season with the first leg in Donegal league area before the end of the year and the second in the SWDDL area before the end of the season this should make for a very competitive competition next season. The standard of play on the night was very good regardless with Mike Naulty Jnr being one of the stars of the night where he was unbeaten. Finally the main thing is that this completion is now up and running and it is hoped it will go from strength to strength in the years to come, thanks to all at the National for their great hospitably on the night and to the Cope House for the hospitably during the first match. 1.
