Pre-match
Kerry were the reigning champions, having completed the second senior four-in-a-row in 1932, following the Wexford team of 1915–1918. However, Kerry did not qualify for the 1933 decider, having been knocked out of the competition at the semi-final stage.[1]
Match
Summary
Cavan became the first Ulster county to win an All-Ireland SFC, with first-half goals by Louis Blessing and "Son" Magee. A record crowd attended the game, with about 5,000 more locked out.[2]
Galway may have lost but they were regarded as a force for the future; this proved true as the following year they won their second All-Ireland SFC title and took the Sam Maguire Cup back to the west for the first time.[3]
