The game turned in Down's favour 11 minutes into the second half with Dan McCartan scoring a goal directly from a line ball; two minutes later Paddy Doherty scored a penalty.[2]
This was Down's first ever appearance in an All-Ireland final, and it brought with it their first win. It was the first of three All-Ireland football titles won by Down in the 1960s, which made them joint "team of the decade" with Galway who also won three.[3] Down won their next four All-Ireland football finals, with this run only broken in their sixth appearance, by a one-point defeat to Cork in 2010.[4][5][6]
This was also the first championship meeting of Down and Kerry.[7]
Down returned to that stage of the competition for the fiftieth anniversary, the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final.[8]
