Kilmichael were full value for their hard earned victory over nieighbours Clondrohid in an all Muskerry County Final in sun splashed Macroom. Their 3-9 to 2-7 final score didn't look likely as Clondrohid (who had beaten Kilmichael in the Mid Cork Final) raced into a 1-3 to no score lead after ten minutes. The winners had a fumbling opening but steadied the ship to lead on the half way mark on the scoreline of 1-7 to 1-3, the goal coming from sublime Brendan Cotter. As in the first half, Clondrohid started brightly to peg back a piont from throw-in but Kilmichael continued from where they left off in the first half and playing some delightful football edged them further in front, compliments of a well taken penalty by the outstanding Daniel Twomey and a peach of a goal by Darra Foley. Kilmichael had another ace in Cork Minor sub goalie Shane Masters, who was a calming influence between the posts. The Backs as a unit played their part after a shakey start, wellanchored at centre back by Finbarr Buckley and the half forward line ably led by Shane Cotter came up thrumps to secure a famous victory. The Kilmichael supporters crossed the Gearagh with a spring to their step to spark off some dignified celebrations.

Kilmichael scorers Daniel Twomey 1-5, Brendan Cotter 1-3, Dara Foley 1-0 and Shane Cotter 0-1.
