Miscellaneous

Bandon completed a hurling-football double by also winning the Cork Intermediate Football Championship. It was also the first time that the club gained promotion to the Cork Senior Hurling Championship.
Fermoy earned the unwanted distinction of completing a losing double when they also finished as runners-up in the Cork Premier Intermediate Football Championship. Losing both finals to Bandon.
Ronan Crowley's tally of 1-10 remains a record individual score for a final.
