Cork 5-15 : Galway 2-21

This is a dvd of the original match as broadcast on TV

Galway have never beaten Cork ina final but Cyril Farrell’s team are hot favourites for this. The county’s best hurling team in history they are in pursuit of a third All-Ireland in four years. Cork however have ambushed defending champions Tipperary in a memorable Munster final. This final turns out to be a classic and one of the highest-scoring in history, featuring a master class from Galway’s Joe Cooney. It is also the first leg of a possible double All-Ireland for Cork whose footballers would contest the final two weeks later.
