Sherbrooke St. Patricks earned the right to challenge for the Deery Cup. They first met Sawyerville, champions of the St. Francis Valley League.
- 3/9: Sherbrooke St. Patricks - Sawyerville 4:1
They then played Loyola, who won by default over Montreal St. Lambert, who refused to travel to face them on March 13.
- 3/18: Sherbrooke St. Patricks - Loyola 3:2
- 3/20: Sherbrooke St. Patricks - Loyola 4:2
However, the games were thrown out and Loyola retained the cup as the St. Patricks had played Baker, who was a senior player and a member of another club. It was planned to replay the contest the following year, but no results were reported, and it does not appear the Deery Cup was played for again.
