They beat Kerry by 18 points to 1-10 to win the Brendan Martin Cup in front of just over 45,000 fans at Croke Park.

Hannah Tyrrell had a wonderful first half - scoring 8 points in the opening period as Dublin established an 11-4 lead at the break.

And that margin was too much for Kerry to bridge - as Dublin captain Carla Rowe stepped up in the second half and kicked 4 points.

So like the men's team - Dublin are All Ireland champions again after a 3-year wait.
