Kerry supporters complained that the final whistle had gone too early in the first match, disallowing a late John Joe Landers winner. When the replay ended before Kerry could take a free which could have given an equalising goal, angry fans invaded the pitch. A loudspeaker appeal allowed the game to continue, and Galway won anyway.[1]
Bobby Beggs lined out for the winning Galway team that day; he had earlier been on the Dublin side defeated by Galway in the final of 1934.[2]
