The Ladies All-Ireland football finals take centre stage this weekend to round off this year's inter-county championship, as Kerry take on Dublin in the senior football final.

For Kerry, Sunday provides the chance to end a 30-year wait for a title. After coming so close in last year's final, the Kingdom has used the disappointment of last season to win Division one, before losing the Munster final to Cor.

After topping their group, they defeated two in a row champions Meath in the process.

This followed a clinical attacking display in the semi-final over Mayo, as Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh continued her incredible season, as she stepped up with Kerry missing star player Siofra O'Shea.

Kerry already have a 3-15 to 1-10 victory over Dublin in the group stage, and will hope to use that to their advantage in Sunday's final.
