Dubs deliver at the death

LAST year’s runners-up, Dublin, advance to the TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC final after defeating Laois (1-8 to 0-9) in a pulsating encounter at Carlow’s Dr Cullen Park on Saturday.

The Jackies have the chance to make amends for last year’s decider defeat to Cork when they face Tyrone or Kerry at Croke Park on Sunday, September 26.

It was the second time that Dublin defeated Laois in championship football this year – the sides met in the Leinster decider – but this was a much tougher test of the capital girls’ resolve.
