The final was then postponed for nineteen months, only being arranged on the Monday before the refixed date.

After missing a great goal chance, the Wexfordmen were in arrears by 1–3 to 0–1 at the interval.

13 minutes of play were followed by an 8-minute stoppage as one of the teams couldn't locate a substitute for an injured player.

Shortly after Wexford scored a goal, before bagging a second moments later to level the game.

A proposed replay was cancelled due to a fair being held in Midleton and Cork were declared the champions on a score line of 2–4 to 0–1.
