In the first and only championship meeting between the two teams, Glen Rovers, with nine survivors from their previous victory in 1973, were the hot favourites for the title. Camross, which featured eight members of the Cuddy family, held the Glen in the first half. Glen Rovers powered on after the interval to secure a ten-point victory.
Glen Rovers' All-Ireland victory was their first since 1973. The win gave them their second All-Ireland title over all and put them joint first on the all-time roll of honour along with Blackrock.
Camross' All-Ireland appearance remains the only time that the Laois champions qualified for the final.
