Dublin and Mayo to meet in 4th All-Ireland final in 8 seasons

And Dublin will clash with Cork in the All-Ireland ladies football decider for the fifth time in seven years.

MAYO AND DUBLIN are the counties left in the hunt for the Sam Maguire following All-Ireland semi-final weekend.

Last night Dublin routed Cavan by 1-24 to 0-12, while Mayo joined them in the final with a devastating 5-20 to 3-13 defeat of Tipperary.

It’s the fourth time since 2013 that Dublin and Mayo have clashed in the decider, while it will be their ninth championship clash in nine seasons.

Dublin beat Mayo by 2-12 to 1-14 in 2013, after a replay by 1-15 to 1-14 in 2016 and by 1-17 to 1-16 in 2017.

Elsewhere, Dublin and Cork will do battle in the TG4 All-Ireland senior ladies football final for the fifth time in seven years.

The Rebels were victorious in 2014, 2015 and 2016 before Dublin turned their three-in-a-row hurt into success in 2017, 2018 and 2019, beating Cork by on a scoreline of 3-11 to 1-12 the middle year.

Mick Bohan’s Sky Blues beat Mayo in ’17 and Galway last season, the latter falling to a 10-point defeat at the hands of Cork today. Dublin beat Armagh in their semi-final last weekend.

The 2020 finalists, and modern day arch-rivals also met in the 2009 decider, while they’ve locked horns in various other mouth-watering league and championship battles through the years.

    Tipp actually had the chances to win today and gifted mayo so many points and goals. If mayo play like that again the dubs will beat them by 12 points. Great year for Tipp football all the same.

    @Rory Murphy: It’s more the sense of entitlement that mayo fans seem to have that their players are entitled to win an all Ireland. Coupled with the fact they bottled so many golden opportunities to win all Irelands at this stage, its all well and good running Dublin to draws and the like but as someone whos played the game, watching a group of players leave games behind them the way mayo have is probably why I dislike them as a group. Go and actually win an all Ireland then I’d your that good. Why do you cling to this thing that you done better against Dublin than anyone else has?

    @Mel Robets: In all fairness when these 2 sides meet in a final you are guaranteed good exicting attacking football.. Unlike some teams… However as one who has kicked the odd ball himself I find it strange you dislike a group because they want to win.. I don’t dislike the Dubs even though they have broken our hearts on many occasions… In the grand scheme of things it says more about you than anything else.

    @Rory Murphy: I don’t dislike them for wanting to win. I dislike them for the amount of winning opportunities they have left behind them. They have been is positions that teams with winners in them would kill it off and these boys have bottled it. That’s why I dislike them, for not having the stones to get over the line when it matters when golden opportunities have been there. I don’t know about you but I never set foot on a pitch hoping to run a team close

The lakers over the last 10 years? There are literally thousands of teams that don’t win and very few that do… I do understand what you are saying, I just find it a very unusual thought process.
