Sarsfields made their way to the Shield Final after being narrowly defeated by 2 points by eventual Nipper Quinn Cup winners St Paul’s in a tight Quarter Final Cup match at St Paul’s.

Sarsfields then took on Davitts in the Shield Semi Final at Davitt Park with Sarsfields playing some great Hurling on the day and coming away with a well earned 8 point win.

The young Paddies were in confident form and looking forward to playing St Endas in the Shield Final. Disappointingly for the Sarsfields boys, coaches & supporters, word came through that St Endas had been in contact with the organisers a few hours before the throw in for the Final and were unable to field.

Not the way Sarsfields wanted to lift the Shield but never the less the Stewartstown boys got their reward for all their hard work throughout the year.
