Dublin won the second of the famous Kerry–Dublin 1970s duels with a seven-point win, goals coming from John McCarthy, Jimmy Keaveney, and Brian Mullins. It was Dublin's first championship win over Kerry since 1934.
Dublin manager Kevin Heffernan declared: "I've waited 21 years for this".
Kerry blamed a cancelled training session. The players asked for this because of "fatigue" though they also wished to take up a Beamish and Crawford invitation to the Tralee Races.
