Monaghan scored first but Kerry won comprehensively with goals by John Joe Landers, John Joe Sheehy (who was captain of the team) and Ned Sweeney.[1]
It was the first of five All-Ireland football titles won by Kerry in the 1930s.[2]
This was also the first Championship meeting of Kerry and Monaghan.[3] It remains Monaghan's only final appearance.
Monaghan's goalkeeper for this game, Thomas Bradley, was a First World War veteran who had been at the Battle of the Somme and Battle of Passchendaele.[4]
