New champions will be crowned.
1. Opportunity awaits Both Kerry and Galway are out to end long waits for All-Ireland senior ladies football glory.
It’s the first All-Ireland final meeting between the counties, and with it, comes a huge sense of opportunity. Galway ’04 was the last time a team aside from Cork, Dublin or Meath reigned supreme. Dublin dominated from the off, 0-2 to 0-0 ahead inside a minute and Kerry were held scoreless for 16 minutes towards the end of the half, leaving the scoreline 0-11 to 0-4 at the break. The previous year, they led 1-2 to 0-0 after seven minutes, but didn’t capitalise on their dream start after another lengthy scoring drought.
Daniel Moynihan, who stepped up as senior manager this year, oversaw much of their success and development. 4. Recent meetings and path to this point Kerry won the Division 1 league clash between the sides on a scoreline of 2-11 to 0-12. They went on to reach the final, while Galway were relegated. This one is extremely difficult to call: both have solid defences and strong attacking lines, with Danielle O’Leary among those stepping up alongside Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh for Kerry, and Galway duo Olivia Divilly and Róisín Leonard the All-Ireland senior championship’s top scorers.
