Wexford led 1-1 to 0-2 early in the second half, when a pitch invasion began and several players were injured. The referee tried to restart the game with substitutes to replace injured players, but Cork refused. Wexford were awarded the title.[2]
Cork and Wexford did not meet again in the Championship until 2010.[1]
