THE 2014 CHAMPIONS and the 2013 champions face off in Croke Park tomorrow for the right to be crowned the best Gaelic football team in Ireland in 2015.
It’s the 13th All-Ireland senior football final contest between Kerry and Dublin, with the Kingdom having the upper hand in winning 8 of the previous 12 clashes.
Here’s the full breakdown of their past final results:
- 1892 – Dublin 1-4 Kerry 0-3
- 1904 – Kerry 0-5 Dublin 0-2
- 1923 – Dublin 1-5 Kerry 1-3
- 1924 – Kerry 0-4 Dublin 0-3
- 1955 – Kerry 0-12 Dublin 1-6
- 1975 – Kerry 2-12 Dublin 0-11
- 1976 – Dublin 3-8 Kerry 0-10
- 1978 – Kerry 5-11 Dublin 0-9
- 1979 – Kerry 3-13 Dublin 1-8
- 1984 – Kerry 0-14 Dublin 1-6
- 1985 – Kerry 2-12 Dublin 2-8
- 2011 – Dublin 1-12 Kerry 1-11
The most recent decider swung Dublin’s way in 2011 when they claimed a dramatic victory thanks to a last-gasp pointed free from Stephen Cluxton.
So ahead of tomorrow’s showdown, who do you think will triumph? Or will we back for a second clash on 3 October?
That’s some bench
Throw in a few of the minors from last year.
2 great keepers there
Waste a time of a league. Absolute joke playing hurling this time of year…
@John: didn’t do them any harm last year
@Aiden: too much hurling.. hip injuries increasing player burnout… players retiring at 26 and 27.. its the long term harm
Tim o Mahony at centre back?
Fair play to Meyler – a bit of of outside the box thinking there. Exactly the type of player Cork need in that position.
