Sinéad Aherne wary of Mayo's firepower

Dublin ladies captain Sinéad Aherne says her side will have to improve on their semi-final performance if they are to secure a first ever Lidl Ladies NFL Division 1 crown against Mayo on Sunday.

The reigning All-Ireland champions were fortunate to come through their clash against Galway in the previous round, and were chasing the contest throughout until Nicole Owens emerged with a brilliant individual goal late in the game to nudge them over the line.

Mick Bohan’s charges will be coming up against a Mayo side who have been hitting considerable tallies in the latter stages of the league, including the 6-11 they registered against Monaghan, before they knocked out reigning champions Cork in the semi-final.
