Unfortunately Campbeltown Boys pulled out on the morning of the tournament which meant there were only four teams taking part. The games were half an hour each way and everything came down to the last game between holders Oban Saints and Lochgilphead Red Star. The game ended in a 2-2 draw which meant that goal difference came into account, but this was the same - plus 5. However Red Star took the trophy by virtue of scoring one more goal than Saints.
