Meath ladies captain Shauna Ennis says the Royals will be looking to hit top gear when they meet Dublin in Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC final.

Playing in their county’s first All-Ireland ladies senior final, Eamonn Murray’s side will be looking to tear up the script against their neighbours who are gunning for a fifth consecutive Martin Cup.

Speaking to RTE Sport ahead of the Croke Park decider, Ennis says the belief is certainly within the squad to cause an upset in four days’ time.

"We wouldn't go up there if we didn't believe that we were contenders," said the Meath skipper.

"We know what it's like to lose in Croke Park on an All-Ireland final day. We really don't want to have that feeling again. We're just looking for a really good performance on the day.

"I was speaking to someone yesterday and they were sort of rhyming off all our achievements over the last 12 months. To be honest we haven't had a minute to stop and take note of them.

"That's probably good that we haven't. Maybe when the season is over, we'll get a chance to really appreciate what we've done. We're still looking for that happy ending though. We want to reach the pinnacle, we want to reach the top."
