The 1968 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 81st All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1968 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
This was Down's third appearance in an All-Ireland final, and they won all three. [1] It was the third 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. [2]
In 2018, Martin Breheny listed this as the eleventh greatest All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. [3]
Seán O'Neill and John Murphy each scored a goal which contributed to Down being in the lead by eight points following eight minutes of play. [3] Kerry never recovered. [3]
Seán O'Neill and John Murphy scored scrappy goals for Down, while Brendan Lynch's goal for Kerry was too late to make a difference. [4]
