Miscellaneous

  • In the Ulster final, Down defeated Donegal by 2–2 to 2–1, however, an objection to the result was launched by the Donegal County Board. A counter objection was later launched by the Down County Board before the Ulster Council declared the championship null and void. Donegal were later nominated to represent Ulster in the All-Ireland semi-final.
