A link to some highlights of the 1975 All Ireland Final. This was the last of the All Ireland wins by the great Kilkenny team of the late 60’s and early 70’s. This particular Kilkenny team is considered to be second in stature only to Brian Cody’s squad of 2006 – 2015.
Eddie Keher scored 2-7 in the Final and held the record for highest score by an individual in an All Ireland Final until Nicholas English of Tipperary hit 2-12 versus Antrim in 1989. It was a very strong championship season for Eddie Keher who hit 4-23 and won his 6th All Ireland Senior medal and his 5th successive All Star
Other strong contributions in this Final were from Liam O’Brien who scored 5 points and won hurler of the year, and from Mick Crotty who scored 5 points and set up Eddie Keher’s second goal after gathering a long clearance from a young Brian Cody. It was also the year the saw the first appearance in a Final by Galway since 1958. They would later appear in 3 Finals in row from 1979 to 1981.
