The game was a controversial one as referee Dan Fraher changed his mind after initially awarding a goal to Cork. He eventually decided that the Gaelic Athletic Association"s Central Council should decide the matter.
Dublin, however, had walked off the field and, because of this, Cork were awarded the title, giving Keegan an All-Ireland championship title.
