The last time the Dublin ladies won an All-Ireland in front of a crowd, it felt like an anti-climax to them as they had failed to put on a show for that crowd.

It had taken them 22 minutes to register their first score of that 2019 decider against Galway; in fact Sinead Goldrick’s goal was their only score of the first half.
