History repeats itself as Rock fires Kickhams

Ballymun Kickhams (Dublin) 2-13 Mullingar Shamrocks (Westmeath) 0-7

Back in 1982, Ballymun claimed their first Dublin title before striding confidently past Mullingar in Leinster and eventually contesting the provincial decider.

Three decades on, they are Dublin champions again and are also back in the province’s last four thanks to their latest win in Westmeath.
