Championship statistics

Miscellaneous

• After being defeated by Sarsfields in the semi-final, Carrigtwohill launched an objection over the eligibility of Sarsfields player John Ryan. The appeal was thrown out by the Cork County Board, however, it was later upheld after a further appeal to the Munster council and a replay was ordered a full two months after the initial disputed match. By this stage the posters advertising the county final between Glen Rovers and Sarsfields were already on display.
• Five time winners Redmonds opening round loss to Muskerry was the clubs last game in the senior championship.
