The Bannsiders won by just 27 runs and at the awards presentation after the game the umpires awarded the Man-of-the-Match award to Coleraine's Andrew Douglas for his 3-31 in the first innings and 6-31 in the second innings to give him the outstanding match analysis of 19.4 overs, 6 maidens, 9 wickets for only 62 runs.

Nigel Barr was then presented with the trophy by Ireland Under 15 coach Noel Dunn.

The Coleraine captain offered his commiserations to Bready at having to lose such a close contest. He also paid tribute to his own players, "the character of his side has brought us through games we never should have won this season and I think everyone will agree that the young talent we have coming through our club augers well for the future."
