Despite the best efforts of all, the game went to a bowl-out with Johnny Woods and Rob O'Brien hitting in the shoot-out to gain a 2-1 win.

The long trip from Cork was a frustrating one for Harlequins. They had raced to 61-0 in 6 overs before the incessant rain forced the game to be abandoned. Offers of a four-way sharing of the trophy didn't meet with unanimous approval so the dreaded bowl-out came into force with CIYMS winning 1-0.

Connor Walden was the Railway Union hero as he was the only bowler to hit the stumps in the U17 All-Ireland final bowl-out. Not the most satisfying way to decide on a youth tournament but given the Irish climate and the lateness of the season, there aren't too many alternative options.

Instonians marched into the final with a dominant 9-wicket win over Limerick who were bowled out for 95. Robbie Moore took 4 for 12, while Hridaan Salain picked up 2 for 21. David Agnew then hit 7 fours and a six in an ubeaten 45, adding an unbroken 73 in seven overs for the second wicket with Cameron Wilson (33*).

David Agnew produced a fine all-round display as Instonians beat Bready to lift the All-Ireland U13 trophy in Cork. With Bready making a strong start through Ben Campbell (33) and Kartik Shukla (28) to reach 77 for 3 approaching the 10-over mark, Agnew claimed 4 for 7 and Oliver Jones 2-8 to keep them to 121 all out. Cameron Wilson (23) and Nicholas Shaw (21) then added 57 for the first wicket to make a dent in the chase, Agnew then took centre stage, hitting 5 fours in an unbeaten 29-ball 41, sharing an unbroken 56 for the third wicket with Vidhath Geddam (16*) to seal the eight-wicket win in the 18th over.

Bready staged a late batting rally to make sure of their place in the final against Cliftonville Academy. Batting first they found conditions after Monday night's thunderstorm tough with Henry Wylie (2-10) helping reduce them to 60 for 4 in 14 overs despite Swarnim Jha's 22. Cameron McClay hit 33 (3 fours), while Travis Faulkner's late boundary blitz - 5 fours in an 11-ball 25 not out - got them up to 125 for 6. Keshav Raghuram (30), and Harikrishna Saneesh (19) got them into a decent position at 61 for 2 in 12 overs in reply. However, the required rate kept creeping up and their increasing desperation saw four run outs and two wickets for Cameron McClay in a 24-run win.

The Hills made it through thanks to a 5-wickets win against Cork County. The Munster side battled bravely, especially seeing as they were five players short due to visa/border fears/issues. Their request to play the game in the Republic was declined. Batting first they struggled in tough conditions with the white ball and green pitch making life difficult, with two wickets apiece for Max Stead and Alan Courell. At 29 for 4 they were really struggling, but Adam Kamel hit two fours and sixes in a 33-ball 44, adding 75 for the fifth wicket with Mark Donnelly (22*). A final total of 107 for 5 game their bowlers something to defend, but The Hills openers Max Stead (32) and Hayden Clinton (30) put on 60 to break the back of the chase, Cork kept fighting and wickets for Mark Donnelly (2-21), Killian Ross (1-17), and Eddie Ross (1-20) ensured a few nervous moments before the win was achieved in the penultimate over.

Bready won the All-Ireland U15 Boys Cup for the first time thanks to a hard-fought, tense, battle with The Hills. The Leinster champions had staged a late rally to reach 95 for 8 thanks to some some lusty late blows from Matthew Davis (19*). Cameron McClay had done the damage with 4 for 12, with the Faulkner brothers taking two apiece. The modest target suddenly seemed far away as Hayden Clinton (3-13) and Alan Courell (2-16) reduced Bready to 55 for 5. McClay though showed his all-round ability in top-scoring with 31, as he and Sam Loughlin (19*) edged them closer to the trophy. McClay fell with the finishing line in sight, but Loughlin held his nerve, sealing victory in the 18th over. A great game in which there was much to be proud of for both clubs.
