The Radio Athlone commentator mistakenly announced Cavan as the winners of the first game; Packie Boylan's late point had been disallowed. Kerry won the replay by six points, with goals by Timmy O'Leary (2), Miko Doyle and John Joe Landers.[1]
It was the fourth of five All-Ireland football titles won by Kerry in the 1930s.[2]
