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.'

Dublin overcome Galway after extra time to secure All-Ireland ladies football final showdown with Meath
TG4 LGFA All-Ireland semi-final: Dublin 3-14 Galway 2-14 (after extra-time) Carla Rowe's audacious flick for a decisive goal at the start of the second half of extra-time will be the clip that will go viral during the week, but it was Hannah Tyrrell's composure under pressure that was the single-most significant play in Dublin's return to an All-Ireland final. A golden generation of Galway footballers has known any number of agonising hard luck stories in recent years, but none will haunt them as much as their inability to manage possession with a one-point lead and 60 seconds left on the clock at the end of normal time. All evening, sloppy handpassing had been the westerners' weak point. Their bravery and endeavour meant that they prevented plenty of inaccurate passes from becoming turnovers, but Dublin did pick up a fair share of their possession from unforced errors, and that made Galway's decision to try and keep the ball a risky one. They gave away one possession and then their second saw Aoife Molloy surrounded and then pinged for overcarrying, with time almost expired. Read More Meath impressively dethrone Kerry to book All-Ireland Ladies football final spot Tyrrell's free would have been a two-pointer in the men's game, but splitting the uprights from over 40 metres out was invaluable, as it sent the contest into overtime at 1-10 to 0-13, and it was only then that Dublin finally looked like the better team. Galway played with the breeze for the first ten minutes but only got one Olivia Divilly point in that period, while Dublin kicked three. Rowe's flamboyant finish made it 2-13 to 0-14, and a third goal from Kate Sullivan seemed to kill off the game, only for consecutive green flags from Andrea Trill and Divilly to leave 40 seconds of tension at the end. It wasn't just the closing minute of normal time that Galway will regret however. They also had the breeze in the first half-hour, but a string of missed goal chances meant that they were only level at the interval, 0-9 to 1-6. Olivia Divilly, Kate Geraghty and Nicola Ward all went well for the Connacht county but on another day, Kate Slevin could have had two goals instead of a single point and Louise Ward hit the crossbar, albeit Dublin also struck woodwork through Nicole Owens. Dublin managed the play well however, taking chunks of time off the clock for each attack at a time when anything more than 30 metres from goal was outside of scoring range. Rowe kicked two good points and Caoimhe O'Connor was devastatingly effective, winning a penalty which Tyrrell converted, and leading the race for player of the match before she went down injured shortly before half-time. Perhaps due to the absence of O'Connor and perhaps due to the natural balance between two teams that also needed 80 minutes to separate them in a quarter-final last year, Dublin failed to exploit the breeze and in a tense encounter that was high on tempo but also high on error count, it wasn't until Kate Sullivan hooked a shot over the bar with her right foot in the 45th minute that a score was registered in the second half. Neither side shot a wide in the first half while Dublin had three after the break, meaning the contest was still finely poised going into the closing minutes, 1-9 to 0-12. Andrea Trill came off the bench to score what could have been the winner with her first involvement, but the little bit of composure that Galway lacked to see things out, Tyrrell showed in spades with her season-transforming free kick.

Dublin book All-Ireland final spot after extra-time goal rush against Galway
(After extra-time) Dublin will face Meath in an all-Leinster TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship final on 3 August after the Metropolitan outfit secured an extra-time victory over Galway at Glenisk O'Connor Park. The Dubs were three goals up and cruising with two minutes left on the clock but had a late scare when Galway found the net twice before running out of time. While Dublin – who lost to Galway under the same circumstances at the quarter-final stage of last year's competition – broke the deadlock with an early point from team skipper Carla Rowe, Galway moved into the ascendancy when Olivia Divilly and Roisin Leonard split the posts in quick succession. Niamh Hetherton swiftly restored parity at the opposite end, before their Connacht counterparts responded with a 0-02 salvo by Corofin attacker Leonard. Yet, after Rowe doubled her tally just shy of the first-quarter mark, Dublin edged back in front when Hannah Tyrrell coolly slotted a 17th-minute penalty beyond the reach of Galway netminder Dearbhla Gower. The sides were back on level terms as a result of Kate Slevin and Leonard finding the range, however, and an impressive scoring spree from the Tribeswomen followed a pointed free from Tyrrell on 23 minutes. Although this left the tie delicately poised on the restart, almost 14 minutes passed before the next score of the game arrived through the boot of Dublin corner-forward Kate Sullivan. There was a sense inside the final quarter that every score was going to be vital and after Slevin levelled matters with a close-in free, Tyrrell responded with a similar effort to help Dublin re-establish a slender lead. However, there is plenty of resilience in this Galway team and the Westerners swung the pendulum in their favour with a 0-02 salvo from Eva Noone. The 2004 All-Ireland champions looked set to prevail when substitute 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 nerveless pointed free. Former Ireland women's rugby international Tyrrell seized the initiative for Dublin in the additional periods with a brace of points and even though Olivia Divilly registered her third of the game, substitute Orlagh Nolan found the target to put Dublin two clear - 1-13 to 0-14 - on the stroke of 70 minutes. Dublin found themselves on course to set up a repeat of their 2021 decider against Meath when Rowe, with a brilliant backheel, and Sullivan bagged goals in the second half of extra-time. While Trill and Olivia Divilly rattled the net for Galway in a chaotic finale, Dublin's place in the showpiece and a rematch of the 2021 All-Ireland were ultimately secured. Dublin: A Shiels; J Tobin, L Caffrey, N Donlon; S Goldrick (0-01), M Byrne, N Crowley; E O'Dowd, N Hetherton (0-02); N Owens, C O'Connor, H McGinnis; H Tyrrell (1-06, 1-00 pen, 0-05fs), C Rowe (1-02), K Sullivan (1-01).
