Wexford champions Clongeen forfeited home advantage in their preliminary round tie with Moorefield in order to get the game brought forward by a week to facilitate star player Paddy Colfer’s stag party in Edinburgh.^[13]

Wicklow champions Baltinglass did not compete this year due to the late finish of their county championships. Hence, St. Vincent's were awarded a walkover.

The Leinster Club SFC quarter=finals brought a bizarre refereeing gaffe which brought a premature end to the match between St Vincent’s and Seneschalstown in Parnell Park. The Dublin champions equalized in the final minute of normal time, before referee Eugene Murtagh blew for full-time shortly afterwards although extra-time had been scheduled. Both teams left the field and the spectators departed, and though a prominent refereeing official attempted to signal the mistake to Murtagh, the message wasn’t delivered in time. With the other quarter-final clash of Moorefield and Dromard at St. Conleth’s Park going to extra-time, the error was accentuated.^[14]

After their Leinster Club SFC quarter final second replay tie with Dromard, Moorefield were hit with three player bans and stripped of home advantage in their next two Leinster club matches for their part in a brawl which broke out on the pitch towards the end of their tie. The first of these two matches were against Tyrrellspass and the next was in 2010 against Portlaoise, the next time they qualified for the Leinster SFC.^[15]
