With an uneven number of teams, it was decided after a meeting of the captains, that instead of using a knockout system, the teams would play a rapidplay all-play-all as had happened in the 2001 event. The top 2 teams would progress to the Final with the teams finishing 3rd and 4th going through to the Plate Final.
With one round to go, the four top teams in the standings were Fisherwick 17.0, QUB A and RVH both 16.5 and Civil Service 14.5. The final round draw had these four paired together and Fisherwick beat Civil Service 3.5 - 1.5 while RVH A beat QUB 4.5 - 1.5.
Fisherwick A and RVH have qualified for the Final of the 2003 Ulster Team Championship while Civil Service and QUB A go through to the Plate Final. Both Finals will be double-round affairs and will be played on 18 May 2003 at Queen's University.
