The first drawn game is notable as the game that Nicky English kicked the ball to the net soccer style after dropping his hurley. [3] In the replay Michael Doyle was the hero coming on as a substitute to score two goals. [4] [5] On accepting the cup at the end of the game, captain Richard Stakelum gave his famous the famine is over speech. [6]

Nicky English speaking in 2012 still rates the victory as his greatest victory, saying "The reason it was so special was that a number of us had been on the team for a long time, I was there since 1982. We had already had our disappointments in Munster finals in 1984 and 1985 and that Cork side still had the remnants of the three-in-a-row side and for us to get over Cork was a major thing for us and a major progression really". [7]

Highlights of both games were shown as part of The Sunday Game programme on RTÉ 2 on the Sunday night. The programmes were presented by Michael Lyster with commentary by Ger Canning.[ citation needed ]
