Dublin win dramatic Semi Final!

  • Aug 30,2010

Last years beaten finalists Dublin advanced to the TG4 All-Ireland Ladies senior football final after getting the better of Laois in a hard-fought semi-final at Dr Cullen Park, Carlow on Saturday evening.

The Jackies ran out 1-8 to 0-9 winners against the OMoore County and will now meet Tyrone or Kerry in the September 26 decider at Croke Park.

Dublin had already defeated Laois this season, in the TG4 Leinster final, but well into the second half it appeared that the tables would be turned.

That was before Dublin corner forward Lyndsey Davey scored a crucial goal with just over seven minutes remaining to hand Dublin the lead, 1-6 to 0-8.

It was an advantage they would hold all the way to the finish as Laois, who led by 0-4 to 0-2 at half-time, were left heartbroken and denied a first final appearance since 2001.
