Both sides came through their final-four ties in a double-header at Thurles on Saturday.
BY HALF-TIME of their respective All-Ireland semi-finals in Thurles, Kerry were leading Mayo by nine points, while Dublin were six points clear of Cork. That’s where the pairing for the 2023 All-Ireland final was determined. Tickets booked.
Unsurprisingly, Ní Mhuircheartaigh was in prolific form again in Thurles on Saturday as she clocked up 1-10 against Mayo, 1-6 of which came from play. The Kingdom got to work in the opening quarter, hitting 1-6 without reply to put them 1-7 to 0-2 in front. That impressive burst punched a hole through Mayo hearts, and the damage was irreversible.
“We put huge pressure on it,” said Kerry joint manager Darragh Long after the win which sees Kerry return to the All-Ireland final for the second year-in-a-row.“I think our press and kickout strategy is really good. We’ve been working at it a long time and the girls have honed their skills at it. We tried to attack their kickout and thought we’d get some scores out of it, which we did.
Dublin were clinical in their semi-final too, crushing Cork by 12 points to get back to the All-Ireland final after a two-year absence in the decider. Like Kerry, Dublin put the foundations of their win in place from early doors. Midfielder Jennifer Dunne was instrumental in that charge as she kicked three points in the first 15 minutes while Player of the Match Lauren Magee found a leak in the Cork defence to go for a goal.
