Match

Summary

Turlough "Tull" Considine, a dual star, was through on goal for Clare but was tripped up, while both teams had goals disallowed, so only points decided the game, Wexford winning nine to five. ^[2]

It was the third of four All-Ireland SFC titles won by Wexford in the 1910s. ^[3]

Seán O'Kennedy, whose brother Gus played at corner-forward, captained Wexford.
