Replay

Summmary

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 rated the victory as his greatest, 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".
