Miscellaneous Along with the 1932 final, it is the only senior hurling final match where the teams were level longer than either team led during the game. Tipperary led four separate times during the match. This was the most by a losing team up to that point and was not equalled until the 1972 final. Kilkenny only led for two minutes, which is the shortest length of time for any winning team in an All Ireland senior hurling final.
