Ballyhegan beat Finvoy in the other semi final to set up an all Co. Armagh final. Richhill, the defending 680kg champions were missing alot of senior pullers as they have taken a year out after winning back to back World Championships which has allowed the youth of Richhill to gain experience as well as a few pullers on the fringes. Ballyhegan won the final 2 straight against a spirited performance by the Richhill team.
