Drogheda by a single point on Saturday 13^th of October to become Louth Urban Champions. Friary took an early lead and dominated the first half, helped by a light wind and the sustained heroics of goalkeeper Ryan. The second half brought out the best in C.B.S. who narrowed the margin to one point in injury time in what must have been one of the most entertaining finals played in years.
