Both Ballylanders and Na Piarsaigh finished bottom of their respective groups.

Kildimo-Pallaskenry, led by the likes of Peter Nash, Tony McCarthy and Gary Sheehan, who propelled their side impressively and ultimately to victory.

The win saw Kildimo-Pallaskenry avoid this year's relegation play-off decider.

Ballylanders pushed Oola all the way in the other relegation play-off semi-final but fell agonisingly short in Ballyagran.
