Match
Summary
Turlough "Tull" Considine, a dual star, was through on goal for Clare but was tripped up, while both teams had goals disallowed, so only points decided the game, Wexford winning nine to five.[2]
It was the third of four All-Ireland SFC titles won by Wexford in the 1910s.[3]
Seán O'Kennedy, whose brother Gus played at corner-forward, captained Wexford.
