1939 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship finalMatch
Summary
Kerry had to play without their captain, Seán Brosnan, who had a heavy cold.[1] Dan Spring (later TD, and father of Tánaiste Dick Spring) scored both Kerry goals. Meath rued their missed chances - they shot 11 wides.[2]
This was the fifth of five All-Ireland SFC titles won by Kerry in the 1930s.[3]
It was also the first championship meeting of Kerry and Meath.
To avoid a colour clash, Kerry wore the red and white of Dingle, county champions at the time.[4]
