Replay

Summary

In the replay Michael Doyle was the hero, coming on as a substitute to score two goals. On accepting the cup at the end of the game, captain Richard Stakelum gave his famous the famine is over speech.

Nicky English, speaking in 2012, still rated the victory as his greatest, saying "The reason it was so special was that a number of us had been on the team for a long time, I was there since 1982. We had already had our disappointments in Munster finals in 1984 and 1985 and that Cork side still had the remnants of the three-in-a-row side and for us to get over Cork was a major thing for us and a major progression really".
