Paddy Cassidy of Glaslough Harriers won the Junior Championship in Castle Park from the Abbey pair of Damien Thillaye du Boullay and Paul Pollock with City of Derry retaining the team title – a remarkable feat given that the 2005 team was no longer eligible. The Veterans Championship, now extended to 4 miles, also went across the border to Pauric McKinney of Letterkenny from Alan McCullough of Willowfield and Kieran Carlin of Finn Valley. Finn Valley easily won the team title from North Belfast and Foyle Valley.
