Well Dubs win again. Very difficult to beat at Croke park. Hannah Tyrrell played really well. As did captain Carla Rowe. Kerry still without win since the early 90's now. But they played well and I am sure will be back. 45,500 at the match, a good crowd. Well done TG4 for their sponsorship of this.

8 points from Hannah Tyrell. She has a great left foot and was very accurate from distance today also which was a key factor in that very good Dublin first half. Deserved POTM award. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4743 - 13/08/2023 19:05:40 2500330 Link

Kerry's famous redhead, Louise Ní Muircheartaigh, scored a great fisted goal. She had a real battle all day with Lauren Caffrey. I mean a battle. The two were like 2 cage fighters sometimes. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2614 - 13/08/2023 20:37:27 2500347 Link
Hard luck to Kerry. The wait since 1993 goes on, which in itself is hard to believe tbh. No disputing who were the far superior team today. A very comprehensive and emphatic victory from start to finish. And much like their male counterparts - this kerry team seem over reliant on one player to get the majority of their scores. Whereas Dublin ladies had a nice spread of 7 scorers today. Who would have thought that the Dubs would do the Double this year, and a Double over Kerry also. Well definitely not me. That is for sure. As someone said earlier - "There wont be a cow milked in The Naul this evening that is for sure".... lol ;o) Ath Claith Abú x2 Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4229 - 13/08/2023 20:39:29 2500348 Link

The two were like 2 cage fighters sometimes." Dublin were cynical and it was not always punished, Caffery's tactic of pretending to go for the ball while behind player was a foul all day and never picked up by the ref. He was way to lenient and needed to show yellow for persistent fouling to stamp it out. They played the ref better for sure. Overall better team and deserved to win but on another day they would have not got away with what they did and the LGFA will have to look at that and make sure it doesn't happen again. If it happed in the men's game there would have been uproar over it. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1959 - 16/08/2023 04:56:37 2500712 Link

The GAA is predictable and boring" Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the ladies football championship. Only three times that it has happened that both mens and womens teams from the same counties played each other in the same year. This year, 2017 and 1982. So it's not as boring as you think.

This forced Kerry into a running, hand-passing game where they ended up carrying into contact. Dublin on the other hand kicked a lot of quick ball to their forwards in space and created easier scoring opportunities. In both finals, Dublin kicked the ball a lot more than Kerry, a county that pride themselves on their kicking game. Unlike the men's final which was on a knife-edge all through, Kerry were never looking like winning this game after the first few minutes and fair dues to Kerry for battling all the way but the final scoreline truly flattered them. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 885 - 16/08/2023 14:46:20 2500806 Link
Congrats to the Jackies and Mick Bohan on a superb achievement. Kerry will learn from this a be a force in the future, avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1990 - 16/08/2023 15:20:06 2500821 Link
Replying To dec: "Fantastic, let's predict who will compete in the mens and ladies all Ireland finals next year. Hardly be dublin v kerry in both? The GAA is predictable and boring" Dublin wouldn't of been expected to make the final at the start of this year. So no not predictable at all Thejampot (Leitrim) - Posts: 354 - 16/08/2023 16:52:51 2500857 Link

I agree - Dublin were very dominant throughout, and the score line did indeed flatter Kerry. Dublin were the better team by far and it looked like kerry were expecting to just turn up and collect the trophy. But right from the throw in - Dublin took the game to them and kerry had no answer. Fully deserved victory for Dublin Ladies. Great to secure the Double. Definitely beyond my, and many peoples, expectations this year. It makes this Double all the sweeter.

Replying To Thejampot: "Referee was very inconsistent. Could do with having another look over the rule book for ladies football. Best team wont but some sin bins would of made a difference" It is a delicate balance. All managers have been calling for more allowance of physicality and these seems to be taken on board. There are grey areas and maybe rules need tweaking but some of what would potentially and indeed is penalised - shoulders for example - would disimprove matters. A lot of what people complain about in womens game is unremarked in mens. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3512 - 17/08/2023 11:29:33 2500940 Link

I believe the lack of contact is a great leveler and allows "weaker" counties to climb the ladder and perhaps that's it. The call is coming from the top. What is interesting is the men's rules are as clear as the women's, what's wrong is that implementation of them has been dropped. I fear if games were refed in women's like last Sunday, it will end up like men's. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1959 - 17/08/2023 13:08:22 2500971 Link

Best team wont but some sin bins would of made a difference" Clutching at straws, if Dublin had a player sinbinned say after 20mins do you not really think they would have adjusted and avoided further yellows, they played the ref as they found him and would have played differently if the ref was card happy. This is like those saying James Mccarthy should have got a second yellow in the men's final. James maybe had 3 yellow card fouls in the game but he only got yellow for the last one, if he got yellow earlier he would have been more astute in not getting a further one, so those saying he was lucky to avoid red are wrong. The men's final was a tight contest but the ladies' was utterly one-sided. No matter how the ref applied the rules or indeed if those two teams played soccer or rugby there would only be one winner. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 885 - 17/08/2023 13:56:41 2500985 Link

My point was how inconsistent the ref was. What he pulled Kerry players for he let Dublin players away with. As for James mc carthy it should of been a straight red for the first tackle ( head high tackle off the ball ) could of been very different game Thejampot (Leitrim) - Posts: 354 - 17/08/2023 23:35:32 2501087 Link

A lot of soft frees given to Kerry. No way was McCarthy's first foul a red. Many pundits suggested that McCarthy was lucky to stay on the field as he had more than one infraction that merited yellow. I've seen no analysis suggesting a straight red. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 885 - 18/08/2023 11:41:34 2501133 Link
