Meath dethrone Kerry to book their return to All-Ireland final
Meath 2-12 Kerry 1-9 KERRIE COLE AND Sarah Wall struck goals in either half at Glenisk O'Connor Park in Tullamore on Saturday as Meath booked a return to the TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship final for the first time since 2022 by dethroning reigning champions Kerry. Although their opponents raced two points clear in the early moments with unanswered efforts from Siofra O'Shea (free) and Anna Galvin, a Meath side that were buoyed by an excellent knockout triumph at home to Tipperary 13 days earlier subsequently edged in front with three scores on the bounce from Marion Farrelly, Emma Duggan and Ciara Smyth. While a fine point from play by O'Shea had Kerry back on level terms, Meath rocked their Munster rivals on 18 minutes when Cole cut in from the right and smashed an unstoppable shot into the opposition net via the underside off the crossbar. After Duggan converted a close-range Meath free, Niamh Ní Chonchúir chipped in with a much-needed brace for a Kerry side that spurned a number of scoring opportunities in the opening period. Traded points between Farrelly and O'Shea ensured the Royals brought a 1-5 to 0-6 cushion into the interval, but the Kingdom turned the game on its head when Rathmore attacker Danielle O'Leary bagged a superb goal within two minutes of the resumption.

Although O'Shea and Caoimhe Evans split the uprights for Kerry in a tense third-quarter, these scores arrived either side of an expertly-taken Meath goal by marauding defender Sarah Wall — whose sister Vikki got through a lot of hard work for the Royals — after 40 minutes. Smyth and influential Kerry ace O'Shea added further points for their respective outfits as the second half progressed, but Meath were on the brink of victory when former team captain Shauna Ennis and current skipper Cleary registered quickfire scores to leave their side four ahead inside the closing 10 minutes. The influential Duggan added a two-point salvo as the final whistle approached to make sure Kerry were kept at bay and the Royals — Brendan Martin Cup champions in 2021 and 2022 — can now look forward to a showpiece affair against the winners of today's other semi-final between Dublin and Galway at Croke Park on August 3.

Kerry ladies manager says Meath were ‘hungrier team' as Kingdom relinquish All-Ireland crown
Mark Bourke: 'I'm very happy with the year. You play these games knowing that you could go in to lose. But did you do your best? Did everyone do their best? Did everyone buy in? Everyone bought in. Everyone did their best' TG4 flashed up an image of Kerry manager Mark Bourke during the game and it looked that all he needed was a pipe and a pair of slippers, such was the laid back way he was watching the game. That's what you get with the Kerry manager. He doesn't get too excited when his team wins and he's philosophical when they don't. In Bourke's eyes there is always another day. Although acutely disappointed, that was his mantra after Kerry were dethroned as All-Ireland champions after a 2-12 to 1-9 loss to Meath in Saturday's All-Ireland semi-final.
