The Cup final opposed GKS Katowice to Legia Warszawa. Legia was having a rather weak season and their opponents were a title contender. But… Legia won: a clean 2-0 victory.
What a bitter disappointment – having a chance to win a double, but ending with empty hands. Still, it was very strong season for GKS Katowice and, incidentally, they seem to be if not the very first, at least one of the first Polish clubs to employ a foreign player: Robert Mitwerandu.
May be a rather weak season in general, but Legia still managed to end with a trophy – it was their 9th Cup. Not bad at all.

If GKS Katowice showed one sign of new reality – imported players – Legia presented another sign: the club had a Catholic priest in the staff.
