While Reddy and Brophy had quite a comfortable lead going into the third and final stage, second placed Tom Murphy and John Crowley held an advantage of only one second over Terence Teggert and Bob Kelly. This particular battle was decided when Teggert and Kelly clipped a stone and burst a tyre, losing five minutes as a result. Ollie O'Reilly and Arthur Kierans had earlier been forced to retire from second place after hitting the same stone.

Eamonn Murphy and Noel Coady thus claimed third place, while Michael Curran and Brian Sheridan grabbed fourth on the final run.
