Dual star Turlough "Tull" Considine 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.[1]
It was the third of four All-Ireland football titles won by Wexford in the 1910s.[2]
Wexford were captained by Seán O'Kennedy, whose brother Gus played at corner-forward.
