The 1952 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 65th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1952 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Mick Higgins was Cavan's captain on the day.^[1]

Match 1

Summary

Cavan equalised with a strange point — Edwin Carolan chased a ball that seemed to go wide, and kicked it across the goalmouth and over the bar.^[2] Carolan's equaliser has been described as a "wonder score".^[3]

Does it present any advantage in an All-Ireland final replay to have scored the equaliser in the drawn game? A look back on the last six drawn football finals shows honours even in that regard... In 1972, Mick O'Dwyer's leveller was in vain when Kerry lost the replay heavily to Offaly while Edwin Carolan's 'wonder score, in the 1952 drawn All-Ireland final for Cavan, paved the way for the last of their five successes in the subsequent replay over Meath.
