Championship statistics

Miscellaneous

  • Galway, facing no opposition in their own province, enter the Munster championship for the first time.
  • In the Munster semi-final Waterford lead All-Ireland champions Tipperary by 8-2 to 0-0 at half-time. Sports broadcaster Michael O'Hehir, who was commentating on another game, read the half-time result live on the radio but advised listeners not to pay any heed as he believed it to be a hoax.
  • For the first time, Waterford qualified for a third consecutive Munster final.
  • The All-Ireland final goes to a replay for the first time since 1934. It held the record as the last replayed championship decider until 2012.
  • Phil Grimes becomes the first and only Waterford player to win two All-Ireland medals. He did not play in his county's first championship triumph in 1948, however, he played in the opening round of the championship and was entitled to a winners' medal.
