'A testament to her': Dubs boss Casey hails ageless wonder Tyrrell 

Dublin's defiant veteran, with 8-33 to her name in this year's championship, is a big reason why they are favourites to reclaim the Brendan Martin Cup

When Hannah Tyrrell kicked the long-range free to keep Dublin in their All-Ireland semi-final, taking Galway to extra-time, she didn't celebrate. Not even a flicker of a smile.

Later on, deep into extra-time, as Galway captain Kate Geraghty sprinted up the field with the ball, corner-forward Tyrrell remarkably chased her down, eventually cutting a 15-metre gap down to zero, and defying the 12-year age difference, before executing a textbook near-hand tackle to win the ball back and then force a free.
