Close
Cliftonville won the tournament for the 5th time and 4th consecutive year, defeating Distillery 4–2 in the final. The final ended when Distillery walked off the field with 13 minutes remaining, apparently in protest at the officials' decisions. They requested a replay but this was rejected.[2][3]
