two years later on 2 november 1913, kilkenny's representatives mooncoin faced tipperary's toomevara in the all-ireland decider. as well as being the first fifteen-a-side final, kilkenny were presented with the opportunity of joining cork and tipperary in a list of teams to have won three successive championships. a matt gargan goal gave kilkenny a 1-4 to 1-1 lead at the interval. the second half was a low-scoring affair. tipperary added just one more point, while sim walton got kilkenny's only score when he bagged a goal with twelve minutes remaining. a 2-4 to 1-2 victory gave kilkenny their seventh all-ireland crown in ten championship seasons.
