It remains their only championship meeting at this level. Both sides were hoping to make history by winning their first All-Ireland title. O'Donovan Rossa took a five-point lead, however, they were eventually reeled in, starting with a Séamus O'Leary goal. The goalkeeping heroics of veteran Henry Butler saved Buffer's Alley on more than one occasion, while full-forward Tony Doran, in his 43rd year, greatly contributed to the victory. Victory for Buffer's Alley secured their first All-Ireland title. They became the 13th club to win the All-Ireland title, while they remain the only Wexford representatives to claim the ultimate prize.
