O’Brien seals it for Stacks

Austin Stacks 1-12 Shannon Rangers 0-7

The Tralee men, who lead the Roll of Honour with 11 titles, were pushed for long periods by the underdogs.

Rangers, on the other hand, last lifted the crown in 1977, and despite being urged on by a large local following, had to bow to a superior side who were led by county star Kieran Donaghy, and Daniel Bohane, the latter giving an exhibition of full-back play.
