Ironically, the same two sides contested the thrilling football decider after Erin’s Own had caused a major shock by eliminating the pre-tournament favourites and 2007 Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland sevens champions, Longstone of Down in the semi-final.

They and St Nicks (winners over host club Dubai Celts in their semi-final) were level at the end of normal time (two periods of 10 minutes).
