 The county's ever-dependable goalkeeper, Ollie Walsh, had a nightmare of a game in which he conceded five goals, one of which passed through his legs, while that year's Hurler of the Year, Michael 'Babs' Keating, played out the closing stages of the game in his bare feet.After a thrilling game Tipp emerged the victors on a score line of 5-17 to 5-14.In spite of this defeat Cummins’ brialliance at midfield was recognised when he was named on the inaugural All-Stars team.
