Henry Downey captained the victorious Derry team.[4]
Aftermath
Derry's manager that day was Eamonn Coleman. When Coleman died in 2007, the All-Ireland winning squad formed a guard of honour at his funeral.[5][6]
Cork player Joe Kavanagh, who also played in their 1999 defeat to Meath, described 1999 as being as bad as 1993.[7]

Lavey, managed by 1993 Derry All-Ireland winning skipper Henry Downey, looked as if they might take control as that goal kept them in touch at 1-5 to 1-4, but in the second-half Kilrea, with their forwards making the most of the scoring chances, ran away to win convincingly by 2-16 to 2-7
