This was their sixth All-Ireland title overall and their first in two championship seasons.{{cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2008/0928/238817-minor_foot_roh/|title=All-Ireland Minor Football Championship: Roll Of Honour|publisher=RTÉ Sport|accessdate=20 September 2011|date=19 November 2012}}
