his fifth consecutive Munster title, before lining out in the All-Ireland final against Offaly. Kerry had an easy win with seven players combining for a great goal. He captured his fourth All-Ireland winners' medal that day as Kerry won by 1–12 to 0–8. O'Shea also retained the Footballer of the Year title. In 1982, O'Shea won his second National League medal before Kerry secured an eighth consecutive Munster final victory over Cork, giving him a sixth provincial winners' medal. The All-Ireland final pitted 'the Kingdom' against Offaly for the second consecutive year. Kerry had the upper hand for much of the game and were leading by two points with two minutes left to be played. The game, however, was not over—as Offaly substitute Séamus Darby, who had entered the game almost unnoticed, produced the most spectacular of finishes by scoring a late goal. Kerry failed to score again to level the match and Offaly went on to win their third All-Ireland title ever. Kerry's five-in-a-row dream was shattered.

Only two of Dublin's forwards scored as Kerry ran out easy winners by 0–14 to 1–6. It was O'Shea fifth All-Ireland winners' medal. A third Footballer of the Year award quickly followed.
