[1] The All-Ireland final between Cuala and Ballyea was a unique occasion as it was the first ever championship meeting between the two teams.

Ballyea struggled in the opening half as their star player, Tony Kelly, found it difficult to adjust to the pace of the game.

Ballyea scored just two first-half points from play with free-taker Niall Deasy converting the other two and trailed by 1-07 to 0-04.

A goal would have cut the gap to three at that stage and Cuala responded with three points themselves, from Treacy and Con O'Callaghan, to open up a commanding 1-10 to 0-04 lead.

But Cuala's second goal from Malone in the 54th minute, after being released by Con O'Callaghan, set the seal on a famous win for the south Dubliners.
