Ballyboughal, Garda, Naomh Fionnbarra and Trinity Gaels first teams all lost out to reserve sides at the Quarter-Final stages. Rules state that no reserve side can participate in a provincial competition so a play-off between these four sides took place. Ballyboughal defeated Naomh Fionnbarra in the final and hence qualified to represent Dublin in the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship.
