This evening's All-Ireland ladies football semi-final between Dublin and Mayo was a wonderful advertisment for the sport.

Dublin won thanks to a last-gasp Sinead Aherne free after the brilliant Cora Staunton had inspired a Mayo second half recovery.

Here's a sample of what's been said on twitter:
