Mick Higgins was Cavan's captain on the day.[1]
Cavan equalised with a strange point — Edwin Carolan chased a ball that seemed to go wide, and kicked it across the goalmouth and over the bar.[2] Carolan's equaliser has been described as a "wonder score".[3]
Mick Higgins's five points won the replay for Cavan, while Peter McDermott (Meath) missed an easy goal chance.[2]
Cavan have not appeared in an All-Ireland football final since.[1]
