Dublin captain Sineád Aherne can’t say she cut a nervous figure in her Hogan Stand seat throughout the second half.

Having been forced off during the first half of their All-Ireland semi-final win three weeks ago because of a hamstring injury, an off-colour Aherne was substituted at half-time in yesterday’s decider.
