Paul Casey hails Hannah Tyrrell's nerve as Dublin book All-Ireland final clash with Meath
DUBLIN'S Paul Casey hailed Hannah Tyrrell after they booked their TG4 All-Ireland final slot. Tyrrell ensured it finished level in normal time on Saturday in Tullamore before the Dubs took down Galway. 2 Dublin joint manager Paul Casey hailed Hannah Tyrrell for her impact during the win 2 Tyrrell starred for Dublin as they sealed a final place with the win over Galway The joint-manager said: 'When you get a score at the end to equalise it and bring it to extra-time, you get a little bit of a boost and you get the energy going into it. 'It's fabulous. All-Ireland semi-finals are all about winning and they're awful to lose. The girls managed to find that extra gear in extra-time, particularly that first half of extra-time, and then got crucial goals at crucial times. It was fantastic. 'There is a lot of work we need to do and lots of areas of improvement that we know won't be good enough in two weeks' time. 'We'll recover and we'll dust ourselves down. See how we are in the next couple of days and we've an All-Ireland final to look forward to.' READ MORE ON GAA The Jackies now face Meath in the final on August 3 at Croke Park and Casey knows this is another contest set to go down to the wire. He said: 'We are very familiar with each other. 'Over the last number of years we've probably played no other team as many times. 'Meath are excellent. I think they've improved massively as the Championship has gone on. We've a little bit of extra homework to do on them now, but it's great for Leinster to have two Leinster teams in the final and I'm sure there will be a massive crowd there.' Most read in GAA Football There was little between the sides throughout a fine contest but Dublin hit the front when Tyrrell slotted home a 17th-minute penalty. The sides were back on level terms when the Tribe's Kate Slevin and Roisin Leonard found their the range. RTE GAA pundit embrace Tipperary captain Ronan Maher after his epic display toppled Cork in All-Ireland final But Tyrrell replied with a pointed free on 23 minutes. Eva Noone, Olivia Divilly and Leonard all raised white flags for Daniel Moynihan's side but with Sinead Goldrick and Niamh Hetherton getting their names on the Dublin scoresheet, the teams were level at 1-6 to 0-9 at the break. It took 14 minutes after the restart before the next score arrived through the boot of Dublin corner-forward Kate Sullivan. Slevin levelled matters with a close-in free but Tyrrell responded with a similar effort to re-establish Dublin's slender lead. Galway hit back and two points from Noone edged them in front. And they looked set to prevail when sub Andrea Trill kicked over in response to a Sophie McIntyre effort. But there was enough time left for Tyrrell to force extra-time with a pointed free. The Na Fianna forward seized the initiative for Dublin in extra-time with a brace of points. Divilly registered her third of the game, before sub Orlagh Nolan found the target to put Casey's side two clear at 1-13 to 0-14 at the break in extra-time. The Dubs found themselves on course to set up a repeat of their 2021 decider against Meath when Rowe — with a soccer-style back heel — and Sullivan bagged goals in the second half of extra-time. They survived a nervous finish after Trill and Olivia Divilly rattled the net for Galway in a thrilling finale. Tribe boss Monyihan said: 'With the clock, another two minutes would have been key for us. We put them under the cosh, they couldn't get kickouts out. 'We possibly could have snuck another goal if we had another few minutes but this is sport. It can be extremely cruel at times. 'Dublin will look back on last year and say, 'Well, we've got our turn now' — but this isn't going to go away for a while for us. 'It's difficult to surmise. We went on a great run, we got back to Division 1. 'We backed up our Connacht title as well, which was great, and then had a good run leading into this. 'We felt possibly we could go all the way this year. 'It's just so disappointing that we just didn't finish that off. We'll regret that but we have to move on and think of the positives. 'We may see a few players step away after this season, which is never easy to see, but a lot of those ladies have really battled for Galway.' SCORERS – Dublin: H Tyrrell 1-6, 1-0 pen, 5f, C Rowe 1-2, K Sullivan 1-1, N Hetherton 0-2, S Goldrick 0-1, S McIntyre 0-1, O Nolan 0-1.

'That's my job' - Hannah Tyrrell reflects on pressure free that helped Dublin secure All-Ireland LGFA final spot
TG4 LGFA All-Ireland semi-final: Dublin 3-14 Galway 2-14 (after extra-time) They came into Saturday's semi-final double header with the best scoring rate of the four teams still standing, averaging over 27 points per game. But once Caoimhe O'Connor went down injured after 27 minutes, Dublin's attack misfired completely. Carla Rowe hit two points before being withdrawn, the rest of the starting forward line hit one from play between them, and as the contest went on, the twin aerial threat of Niamh Hetherton and Hannah Tyrrell up front was also managed well by Galway. Between O'Connor's withdrawal and the last kick of normal time, Dublin added a mere three points. That made it all the more impressive that when Tyrrell was able to look past all that and draw deeply on her long track record of success across multiple codes to split the uprights and send the game to extra time. 'That's my job, that's my role, I'm the freetaker for a reason,' she said after her side's extra-time victory. 'I practice them day in day out, I felt confident that I could take it, and it was something I could contribute. I felt that things weren't going right for me personally so that was something I could fix. I didn't really think about (the pressure) at the time, I felt that I could score it and I did. 'It wasn't our best performance, we had to really dig deep. Galway put it up to us and it was tit-for-tat there and it felt like the first half of extra time we could pull away and then we got the goal. We hadn't really done ourselves justice so far, even in the 60 minutes today, but it feels like there's a lot more in us'. Hannah Tyrrell scores her side's first goal, from a penalty. Pic: Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile. In extra-time, Dublin looked much more like the team that sat on top of the tree at the end of the 2023 campaign. They engineered three scores into the breeze in the first half of extra-time, then goals from Carla Rowe and Kate Sullivan ensured they had enough in the tank to withstand a late Galway rally. Rowe, who was a late addition to the side, had been taken off and then came back on to find the net with an audacious heel flick to make it 2-13 to 0-14 at the start of the second period of overtime. For the 12-year player with five All-Irelands, it was a first! 'Never in my life, I'd have said I'd pull a hamstring doing that!' she told FM104 radio afterwards. 'But it just came to me, the defender was coming across and I knew it needed to go in immediately, just pure luck!' It was a score that will no doubt have gone down well in the accounts departments of the LGFA as well, as it means that Dublin and Meath – the two teams that usually draw the biggest crowds in the ladies game – will meet in the final on Sunday week. 'It's always a big game, all the people who came out behind us today, we could hear them and that spurred us on so we'll be hoping for them to come out to Croke Park in two weeks' time, and we know the Meath crowd will as well,' Rowe said. In 2024, Galway came through a quarter-final clash with Dublin that also went to extra-time, but their season ended with a disappointing showing in the final. Another agonising loss here makes it even more likely that their current golden generation, backboned by the Wards, Divillys and a handful of other veterans that have anything up to a decade of intercounty football behind them, might never get their hands on the Brendan Martin Cup. 'We may see some players step away after this season which is never easy to see, but a lot of those ladies have battled a long time for Galway, they've nothing else to give and nor should they,' admitted Galway manager Daniel Moynihan. 'We thought maybe we had it won in normal time. The last 30 seconds, one misplaced pass and essentially that's what's cost us. We didn't really get going in that extra-time until four or five minutes were left which isn't where you need to be,' said the Ballinasloe native. 'If anything, we were a little bit disappointed with our first half. We had a number of goal chances and didn't take them so we were a little bit disappointed to be level. I'm sure Dublin were probably very happy with they were. 'The second half was very scrappy, it was very difficult to get over but we felt that the two or three frees we knocked over in those closing stages might see us through, but luck wasn't on our side. 'They have a never-say-die attitude, another two minutes would have been key for us. We put them under the cosh, they couldn't get kickouts out and we possibly could have snuck another goal if we got another few minutes. "But this is sport, it can be extremely cruel at times. Dublin will look back on last year and say that we've got our turn now, but this isn't going to go away in a long while for us'.

Kerry to face Meath and Galway to face Dublin in All-Ireland Ladies SFC semi-finals
The semi-final line-up for the 2025 TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Senior Football Championship has been confirmed. Holders Kerry will face off against Meath and 2024 runners-up Galway will face Dublin , with both games scheduled for Sunday, July 19th. Last year, these ties were quarter-finals pairings, with Kerry victorious over Meath, while Galway got the better of Dublin. Síofra O'Shea led the way for champions Kerry, scoring a hat-trick in their 3-12 to 0-11 win over Kildare in Tralee. Two of the goals came in the opening half when the Kingdom were playing against the wind in Tralee. READ MORE Even though the Lilywhites got off to a very strong start, notching four points in the opening nine minutes to take the early ascendancy, the concession of the two green flags before the break was a hammer blow to the visitors who trailed by 2-5 to 0-7 at the interval. A Kate Slevin first-half penalty laid the platform for Daniel Moynihan's charges as last year's runners-up Galway built a 1-7 to 0-3 interval over Waterford at Tuam Stadium. But while Lauren McGregor's strike early in the second period – she finished with 1-7 – breathed new life in the Déise challenge, they were unable to catch Galway who went on to win by 1-18 to 1-12. Hannah Tyrrell was in superb form as Dublin ousted Cork by 3-15 to 0-7 at Parnell Park, her goal from a penalty helping Dublin build a 1-6 to 0-4 interval lead having played against the breeze. Katie Quirke led a Cork revival after the restart but Dublin pulled away and sealed the win with late goals from Kate Sullivan and Sinead Goldrick to advance to the last four. Meath saw off Tipperary by 2-17 to 1-6 in Navan to set up a semi-final meeting with champions Kerry. Goals from Vikki Wall and Niamh Gallogly put Meath into a commanding 2-9 to 0-2 interval lead. Tipperary never looked like catching them although Aishling Moloney found the net in the closing stages. Meanwhile, Armagh and Mayo ensured survival in the senior grade for 2026. Armagh got the better of Donegal by 0-15 to 0-5, while Mayo overcame Leitrim by 2-14 to 0-13 in relegation playoffs which doubled up as provincial derbies on Saturday. Mayo manager Liam McHale stepped down after two years in charge after ensuring his native county's top-flight status. Donegal and Leitrim both have a second chance next Saturday, July 12th, but the losers of that tie will be relegated to the Intermediate grade for next season. In the Intermediate Championship, Wicklow were victorious by 3-11 to 3-8 after extra-time over Offaly on Sunday in an all-Leinster relegation clash, to ensure survival. Wicklow can look forward to Intermediate fare again next year, with Offaly relegated to the Junior ranks. Results: Dublin 3-15 Cork 0-7 Galway 1-18 Waterford 1-12 Kerry 3-12 Kildare 0-11 Meath 2-17 Tipperary 1-6
