Arrangements

Leinster defeated Connacht by 3–6 to 1–0 at Naas. Munster defeated Ulster 7–3 to 1–4 at Carrickmacross. All the Dublin players, except Kay Ryder, made themselves unavailable for the Gael-Linn final at Ballinlough and two goals from Bernie Maloney helped Munster win by 4–2 to 1–3.[3][4][5][6][7]

Agnes Hourigan wrote in the Irish Press:

There was little doubt of Munster's supremacy against Leinster, who lacked the experience to match their opponents.
