All-Ireland SFC Semi-finals

Mayo stormed into the All-Ireland final with a commanding victory over Louth at Croke Park. Andy Moran’s side produced a relentless attacking display, with their pace and clinical finishing proving too much for Gavin Devlin’s team. Ryan O’Donoghue was on top form, scoring 1-11 to send his team to the decider.

Kerry kept their hopes of retaining the Sam Maguire alive after overcoming Dublin in a gripping semi-final. There was little to separate the sides as they went into the break level, before Seán O'Brien's goal early in the second half swung the momentum in the Kingdom's favour. Dublin kept the pressure on until the final whistle, but Kerry held them at arm's length to book their place in a fourth All-Ireland final in five years.

Tailteann Cup Final

Wicklow produced a remarkable second-half comeback to claim the Tailteann Cup title with a dramatic victory over Down at Croke Park. Trailing by seven points early in the second half, Oisín McConville's side refused to give in and gradually chipped away at the deficit. Dean Healy’s late goal proved the turning point before Wicklow finished strongly, with late scores sealing a famous victory and the county's first national senior football title.
