Meath will face Kerry in the All-Ireland semi-final while Galway will take on Dublin
Galway, runners-up to Kerry, defeated Dublin in the quarter-finals last year and Moynihan knows what to expect this time round.
'It's going to be an interesting game. Dublin had a difficult situation last year going to extra time and us just catching them at the end. So, I'm sure their tails will be up. They'll be looking forward to playing us and getting a little bit of revenge against us,' said Moynihan.
A Kate Slevin first half penalty laid the platform as Galway built a 1-7 to 0-3 interval over Waterford at Tuam Stadium before going on to win by 1-18 to 1-12.
'We have a huge variation of scorers out there and that's fantastic for me as a manager that we have that variation,' added Moynihan. 'It causes a little bit of confusion for other teams as well in knowing who to pick up. We started really, really well today.'
Lauren McGregor's strike early in the second period — she finished with 1-7 — breathed new life in the Deise challenge, but they were unable to catch Galway.
'We just didn't probably hit a lot of the markers we'd laid out in the first half,' said Waterford manager Tomás Mac a tSaoir. 'We probably left too much work to do in the second half. A spirited comeback in the second half but we just couldn't squeak in close enough to maybe squeak ahead.
'Lots of things to build on. Those girls inside there know they're not that far away from busting into the top section of counties that have been performing over the last five or six years. They have to start thinking about that now for the next couple of months.'
Dublin joint manager Paul Casey said they have plenty of room for improvement despite seeing off Cork by 3-15 to 0-7, with Hannah Tyrrell leading the way with 1-5.
'I think for lots of that game, there were probably lots of aspects that we weren't overly happy with,' said Casey. Our shooting let us down on a number of occasions, but in fairness to our girls they battled to the very end and their work-rate was superb throughout. We're really pleased and delighted to be in the semi-final.
'In fairness to our medical team and our S&C team, they're getting the players back when we need them now coming in. To see Orlagh Nolan coming in there. A year ago she did her cruciate and she has had to work so, so hard to come in and get her 15 minutes in there today. There is competition for places. We know there is lots of work that lies ahead, but we won't underestimate anybody that is left in this competition.'
'I thought Dublin were superb all the way through,' said Cork manager Joe Carroll. 'I think their pace, their tackling was at a different level to what we're at and what we have been used to. I would definitely say the best team we have seen play this year so far. They mightn't win an All-Ireland, but if they keep producing performances like that, they won't be far off it.'
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.
'I thought the effort was much better than it was in previous games,' said Kerry manager Mark Bourke. 'We were only playing in dribs and drabs, 30 minutes here and there in the last few games, but I thought we were very good today for 50 minutes.
'The goals were absolutely crucial. To go up four points against the wind was the making of the game for us.'
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.
'It's probably small margins,' said Kildare manager Pat Sullivan. 'We had two chances for goals in the first half, and we didn't take them. We again missed a good chance of a goal just after half-time. We were pushing then, and got caught for a third goal.
'Overall, I'm very proud of the group. We had no player here today that has ever played in an All-Ireland quarter-final.'
Meath manager Shane McCormack, after seeing off Tipperary by 2-17 to 1-6, said they won't lack incentive against Kerry in the last four after going out at the quarter-final stage to the Kingdom in Tralee in each of the last two seasons. Goals from Vikki Wall and Niamh Gallogly put Meath into a commanding 2-9 to 0-2 interval lead in Navan.
'I'm very proud of the girls. They've gotten a lot of criticism over the last year and a half,' said McCormack. 'The last time they won the All-Ireland was in '22. We've brought in a lot of girls and they've been working extremely hard. Very disappointed with the last two years down in Tralee, so we have them in a couple of weeks' time and we'll be ready for it.
'I have mentioned the last couple of months, we've been playing in patches. The last 15, 20 minutes we've been going out of games. It wasn't lack of fitness, it was just managing it. In fairness to the girls, there was a lot of composure shown there and we kept going for the 60 minutes. Even the girls who came on, they finished the job. Super, delighted for them.'
Tipperary never looked like catching them after the break although Aishling Moloney found the net in the closing stages.
'Meath came out of the blocks far quicker in the first half,' said Tipperary manager Ed Burke. 'I think physically they were just far stronger and they dominated us. When that comes at you in one burst, I think for 10 minutes there they scored 2-5 and that's the game in a nutshell. I thought the second half in fairness, I thought we came out and we battled well. We gave a bit of a better account of ourselves. Look, Meath are deserving winners.'
Meanwhile, Armagh and Mayo ensured survival in the senior grade for 2026.

James Horan: 'I won't be going for the Mayo manager position. It is time for something different'
Former Mayo manager James Horan has ruled himself out of a return to the county hot seat as they begin their search to replace Kevin McStay. McStay was relieved of his role as senior football manager last month and local media had speculated that Horan would seek a return for a third spell. The former Mayo player was first appointed in 2010 and led the county to successive All-Ireland finals in 2012 and 2013 before stepping away a year later. He returned in 2018 and again led the team to All-Ireland finals in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, he stepped down. Speaking on the Irish Examiner podcast, Horan said he won't be in the running for the role and has spoken to the Mayo chairperson to confirm this. 'I won't be going for the Mayo manager position,' he said. 'Not at all. It is not for me. I had a go at that and I think it is time for Mayo to look at someone different or something different. I'm just a supporter and happy in that position, going to the games with my young fella, cheering them on. "Where I am at the moment, I've had a chat with Seamus Tuohy on that just to clear it up, because I don't even want my name associated with it in case there is any confusion. Absolutely not.' Meanwhile, Former Tyrone star Peter Canavan said it is still an attractive position, although he was strongly critical of the statement issued about McStay's departure. 'The hunger and passion among their supporters for an All-Ireland, they are craving and crying out for it,' said the two-time All-Ireland winner. 'The fact they have been knocking on the door, I've a degree of sympathy for them but they just keep shooting themselves in the foot. Time and time again. They need a really strong character. They need another James Horan. 'They need someone who can pull the thing together but when they treat Kevin McStay in the manner that they did, how do they expect to get a good, homegrown talent like Andy Moran or somebody. "Who would want to step into that position when you see someone like Kevin McStay being treated the way he was. 'It was just an unbelievable decision, I thought someone was winding me up when I heard the statement that came out. But in terms of potential, in terms of quality players, there is so much going right in Mayo.'

FAI seek to postpone Wednesday's Oireachtas committee hearing
The Football Association of Ireland have requested a four-week deferment of their scheduled appearance before the Oireachtas sport committee. Senior members of the Association are due in Leinster House on Wednesday but have sought more time due to 'the complexity introduced by the committee seeking material that relates directly to an ongoing Garda investigation'. The FAI also requested that the 'scope of the session is clearly defined'. The Oireachtas Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media has been approached for a response. READ MORE [ FAI board holds unscheduled board meeting after standoff with Oireachtas sport committee Opens in new window ] The ongoing Garda investigation relates to allegations against former male coaches of inappropriate relationships with female players and unwanted sexual advances dating back to the 1990s. The allegations were first made public last year by a joint project by RTÉ Investigates and the Sunday Independent. Gardaí have confirmed they are investigating at least one complaint concerning the matter. The former coaches have denied any wrongdoing. The FAI board held an unscheduled meeting on Friday before seeking the four-week postponement from the Oireachtas committee on Monday morning. 'When the formal invite was received on Friday 27th June the committee requested a broad range of documents, many that relate specifically to an ongoing Garda investigation,' a statement from the FAI read. 'Given the complexities involved in collating and considering our ability to comply with this request and to enable adequate preparation time we have sought a deferral of four weeks. Any disclosure must also be assessed carefully for legal and GDPR compliance given the sensitive and confidential nature of safeguarding information requested. 'Over the intervening period we will continue to liaise with the committee to ensure the scope of the session is clearly defined to ensure that no parties could inadvertently compromise an ongoing investigation. 'We fully respect the important work of the joint committee and acknowledge the critical oversight role it plays in relation to legislation, policy, governance, expenditure and administration of the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport. The FAI is fully committed to engaging constructively with the Committee on this matter and we look forward to them defining a revised date where this session can proceed.' Speaking under Dáil privilege last month, Fianna Fáil TD Pádraig O'Sullivan said the FAI knew of the allegations in 2023, 'despite the FAI stating publicly that it only learned of these allegations in early 2024'. Mr O'Sullivan said he had seen correspondence dating to May 4th, 2023, which laid this out in 'black and white'. Minister of State for Sport Charlie McConalogue subsequently stated his department and Sport Ireland believe the FAI had engaged appropriately with the allegations, and that once it received a formal complaint in January 2024 it acted swiftly and contacted Gardaí. Despite requesting the four-week postponement, the FAI has accepted the invitation to appear before the Oireachtas sport committee on Wednesday.

Pat Ryan ‘prefers' being favourites as Cork prepare to take on Tipperary in the All-Ireland final
PAT Ryan believes Cork's status as red-hot favourites will have no impact on their quest to end their 20-year wait for an All-Ireland crown. Beaten finalists against Clare last season, Ryan's side booked their place in another SHC decider, this time against Tipperary, with Saturday's 2 Ryan's side have reached back-to-back All-Ireland finals having beaten Dublin 2 The Rebels ran out 7-26 to 2-21 winners in the semi-final against Dublin One bookmaker Ahead of last month's And speaking after the defeat of the Dubs, Ryan said: 'I think we've probably been favourites for lots of games all year, bar probably the Munster final. 'I'd prefer to be favourites because that means you're doing something right. That's the way I look at it. Read more on GAA 'It's up to the lads if we're winning matches and playing well and performing well, you're going to be favourites. But as we know ourselves, it doesn't make a difference what the bookies are going to do. 'You have to turn up and perform. I'd say we were favourites probably for the All-Ireland final last year with the bookies and we didn't win. 'It's just about being focused on ourselves and making sure that we're ready to go.' From weather conditions to competition for places, Ryan reckons many factors combined to help Cork navigate the long road back to the biggest day of the year. Most read in GAA Hurling He added: 'We knuckled down when we got back in. We probably refreshed the panel a bit more. We looked at areas that we didn't do well as a management team — our S&C, physio, all that side of things that we could improve on. "We spoke to players about that and really went after performances in the league, trying to make the panel as competitive as we could. It's a small thing but the weather was much better this year so fellas were looking forward to going to training. RTE viewers loved Noel McGrath's post-match interview from accidental F-bomb to hilarious gag 'If you're not really involved in GAA or in teams, sometimes the weather you think is the same. But the weather this year was fantastic and it made a huge difference. 'We were in Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Páirc Uí Rinn for an awful lot of the year and there was a great buzz about that. The year kind of flew. 'When you're playing games, you just move from game to game and the competitiveness within the squad has made fellas step up their game a bit as well.' TAKE YOUR POINTS AND GOALS WILL COME That being said, Ryan sees plenty of room for improvement. For example, while their goal threat has been fundamental to Cork's success, the boss felt they were sometimes too keen to feed their appetite for green flags. He explained: 'After we got maybe the first two or three goals, we probably pushed it a bit too much after that. We should have been building the score. "We left maybe three or four points behind us that would have kept the score tipping away and would have kept maybe making it difficult for Dublin. Then we gave away two kind of soft goals, which we were disappointed with. 'But we came in at half-time and our lads were really focused. I thought maybe our work-rate was a bit down as well. They're areas we'll go after.' OUTRAGEOUS O'DONOGHUE On a day when Cork's forwards showed their flair, Inniscarra clubman Seán O'Donoghue set the standards at the other end of the pitch with an impeccable defensive display in the full-back line. The input of the 29-year-old came under scrutiny during last season's Munster SHC. After his red card proved costly in the defeat to Clare, he was turned over for two goals in the defeat of Limerick. It was a busy period on and off the pitch for O'Donoghue, whose partner Aoife gave birth to the couple's first child a week before he captained his county in the All-Ireland final rematch with the Banner. Ryan said: 'I think sometimes fellas get a name into their head and they try and give them flak and then everybody jumps up on top of it. "It's happened down in Cork with different players through the years but we've no question about Seán. We see it every night in every training. He's probably our best trainer, diligent, everything. 'He had a lot going on last year with the captaincy, having a new baby, building a house. All those things can take a bit of distraction away from yourself but he's been brilliant for us. 'A great leader within the group. I'm delighted with Sean's performances but he needs to play a bit better now again the next day.' CAPTAINCY CHANGE Ryan named O'Donoghue as captain following his appointment as manager. Rob Downey then took over the role for the 2025 season. Asked if O'Donoghue has benefited from no longer carrying such responsibility, the Glanmire-born gaffer replied: 'I wouldn't think so. 'I don't think it affected him in any way last year. It's like everything, a lot of things go on. I thought he performed very admirably last year. 'But the key thing to Seán this year is that he had a clear run of injury. He's in really good shape, played lots of matches and that's the key for any player. 'As I'm still learning as I go in this job, injuries just dampen any momentum. Whether it's a team or whether it's an individual, injuries just dampen momentum. That's given him momentum in every game.' Cork will hold their All-Ireland final press event this evening. And Ryan confirmed that their plans for Sunday week's battle with Tipp will not be interrupted by tomorrow night's game between He said: 'We'll be back into the gym on Monday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh and back into the pitch on Wednesday. So that won't affect our preparations in any way.' SCORERS — Cork: A Connolly 3-2; P Horgan 0-8, 6f; B Hayes 2-1, T O'Mahony 2-1; D Dalton 0-5, 2f; D Fitzgibbon 0-3; S Kingston 0-2; D Healy 0-1, C Joyce 0-1, C Lehane 0-1, J O'Connor 0-1.
