Miscellaneous
- The 5-02 to 2-05 first round defeat of St. Finbarr's by Collins was declared null and void after an objection by St. Finbarr's was upheld.
- Mallow's defeat of Blackrock in the second round was regarded at the time as one of the biggest shocks in the history of the championship. It inspired the song When Mallow Beat Blackrock.
