Match 1
Summary
Mick O'Dwyer brought the sides level to force a replay.Colm Keys https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/comedians-at-large-in-kingdom-setup-38493564.html Scoring the equaliser proves great leveller Irish Independent Independent News & Media 13 September 2019 13 September 2019 Does it present any advantage in an All-Ireland final replay to have scored the equaliser in the drawn game? A look back on the last six drawn football finals shows honours even in that regard... In 1972, Mick O'Dwyer's leveller was in vain when Kerry lost the replay heavily to Offaly...
