The All-Ireland final was a unique occasion as it was the first ever championship meeting between Buffer's Alley and O'Donovan Rossa. It remains their only championship meeting at this level. Both sides were hoping to make history by winning their first All-Ireland title.

O'Donovan Rossa took a five-point lead, however, they were eventually reeled in, starting with a Séamus O'Leary goal. The goalkeeping heroics of veteran Henry Butler saved Buffer's Alley on more than one occasion, while full-forward Tony Doran, in his 43rd year, greatly contributed to the victory.

Victory for Buffer's Alley secured their first All-Ireland title. They became the 13th club to win the All-Ireland title, while they remain the only Wexford representatives to claim the ultimate prize.

gollark: You know how I said that companies were obligated to release the source code to the kernel on their device? Some just blatantly ignore that (*cough*MediaTek*cough*). And when it *is* there, it's actually quite bad.
gollark: It's actually worse than *just* that though, because of course.
gollark: There are some other !!FUN!! issues here which I think organizations like the FSF have spent some time considering. Consider something like Android. Android is in fact open source, and the GPL obligates companies to release the source code to modified kernels and such; in theory, you can download the Android repos and device-specific ones, compile it, and flash it to your device. How cool and good™!Unfortunately, it doesn't actually work this way. Not only is Android a horrible multiple-tens-of-gigabytes monolith which takes ages to compile (due to the monolithic system image design), but for "security" some devices won't actually let you unlock the bootloader and flash your image.
gollark: The big one *now* is SaaS, where you don't get the software *at all* but remote access to some on their servers.
gollark: I think this is a reasonable way to do copyright in general; some (much shorter than now!) length where you get exclusivity, which can be extended somewhat if you give the copyright office the source to release at the end of this perioid.
