Now we’re set for a third Dublin-Mayo All-Ireland senior football final
ONCE THE DUST settles on Dublin’s outstanding victory over Kerry today, the focus will turn to the third Sunday in September.
Dublin’s win over Kerry an epic semi-final confirms their passage to the All-Ireland SFC final, where they’ll face Mayo.
Mayo and Dublin will meet in a repeat of the 2013 decider when Dublin had a point to spare in a 2-12 to 1-14 victory.
It’s the third time the counties face-off in a final. Their first clash was way back in the 1921 final, which was actually played on 17 June 1923. Dublin ran out 1-9 to 0-2 winners that day.
Dublin needed a replay to edge past Mayo in last year’s semi-final after two epic contests.
Mayo are seeking to win their first final since 1951, having lost All-Ireland finals in ’89, ’96, ’97, ’04, ’06, ’12 and ’13.
Dublin are aiming to win back-to-back All-Ireland finals for the first time since 1977, and become the first county to do so since Kerry in 2007.
