Lloyd's News reported that "betting" was the cause of a dispute. Monaghan retain the Ulster title for the only time in their history. It remains their last provincial triumph. Due to a delay in the southern province, Clare represented Munster in the All-Ireland semi-final and defeated Galway to qualify for the All-Ireland final. Cork subsequently defeated Clare in the Munster final and claimed their place in the All-Ireland decider. The All-Ireland final between Cork and Laois was the first championship meeting between the two sides. Their second championship meeting did not take place until 2011 when Cork were victorious. As a result of this, Laois were the only team that Cork had played but never beaten in the championship. Laois become the 10th team to win the All-Ireland crown. It remains their only championship title. References Sources Corry, Eoghan, The GAA Book of Lists (Hodder Headline Ireland, 2005).
