We Are Dublin GAA

19/01/2024

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: THE END OF AN ERA: Hi folks due to financial reasons we have had to make the very difficult and heartbreaking decision after over a decade of covering Dublin teams across all four codes from underage to adult to blow the final whistle on We Are Dublin GAA. We would like to thank all our followers over the last decade for their unwavering support. We would also like to thank all the players and managers for the many interviews and support over the last ten years. We would like to especially thank former Dublin Camogie chairman the late Pat Martin for trusting our then fledgling outlet and bringing us on board as the official media partners of Dublin Camogie something we were always very proud of and which continued under the chairmanship of Jenny Byrne and Karl O’Brien. We would also like to thank Dublin LGFA chairman Joe Keane and Patricia Monaghan who were an absolute pleasure to work with and always very supportive and good friends to us. Although it’s a very sad day for us it’s been some journey to look back on for us over the last decade covering the Dublin six in a row, the four Dublin Ladies football All Ireland title wins, the Premier Junior Camogie All Ireland success and the many other successes across the four codes and age groups. For now though it’s back to the terraces and stands and we wish all Dublin teams every success for 2024 and beyond. Up The Dubs!!

Nigel and Noel.

31/12/2023

From all of us here at We Are Dublin GAA have a very Happy New Year, enjoy the celebrations and here’s to a very successful 2024 for all Dublin teams across the four codes.

25/12/2023

All of us here at We Are Dublin GAA would like to wish all our followers a very Happy Christmas. Hope you all have a great one. 🎄🎄🎅

Senior Club All Ireland Semi Final Match Report

Kilkerrin-Clonberne 0-15

Kilmacud Crokes 1-10

(after extra-time)


By DAIRE WALSH

Defending champions Kilkerrin-Clonberne will face Ballymacarbry in the currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Senior Club Championship decider as points from Meave Flanagan and Olivia Divilly helped them to overcome Kilmacud Crokes after extra-time in a pulsating semi-final encounter at Parnell Park.

Inseparable from their Dublin counterparts at the end of normal time, Kilkerrin-Clonberne – whose manager Willie Ward was absent for the game due to illness – had that little extra in reserve during the additional periods to keep their dreams of a third consecutive All-Ireland crown alive.

Following traded frees between Kilkerrin-Clonberne’s Eva Noone and Kilmacud half-forward Niamh Cotter in the early stages, the title holders created some daylight with quickfire points courtesy of Eva Noone and Miskell. Crokes were eager to outline their intent, however, and their midfielder Grace Kos bagged an 11th minute goal after her initial strike was saved by opposition netminder Lisa Murphy.

This left Paddy O’Donoghue’s Metropolitan charges with a slender cushion, which remained intact following traded scores between Eva Noone and Crokes inside forward Eabha Rutledge.

Yet Kilkerrin-Clonberne didn’t panic and found themselves two points ahead as a result of Hannah Noone, Louise Ward and Olivia Divilly kicking unanswered scores. However, Crokes duo Rutledge (free) and centre half-back Kate Murray also found the range to leave the sides on level terms (1-4 to 0-7) at the interval.

The Stillorgan women got the second half scoring underway on 39 minutes when Julia Buckley split the posts and while Lynsey Noone responded at the opposite end, Cotter (free) and Mia Jennings were on target to leave Crokes 1-7 to 0-8 in front on the third-quarter mark.

Although this threw down the gauntlet to Kilkerrin-Clonberne, they dug deep in the spirit of true champions and moved back into the driving seat when Eva Noone, Olivia Divilly and Louise Ward raised white flags in quick succession. The Tribeswomen looked set to prevail by the skin of their teeth when Eva Noone broke through a gap for a point off her weaker right foot, only for Cotter to display nerves of steel to convert a free deep into stoppage-time.

The teams appeared on course to remain inseparable at the end of the opening period of extra-time – Eva Noone and Murray both adding to their tallies – but a fine point from substitute Flanagan gave Kilkerrin-Clonberne a 0-14 to 1-10 lead on the stroke of 70 minutes.

The Galway side held onto this buffer as the final whistle approached, until Olivia Divilly’s free on 82 minutes left them with two points to spare.

Scorers – Kilkerrin-Clonberne: E Noone 0-6 (5f), O Divilly 0-3 (2f), L Ward 0-2, H Noone, L Noone, C Miskell, M Flanagan 0-1 each.

Kilmacud Crokes: N Cotter 0-3 (3f), E Rutledge 0-3 (2f), G Kos 1-0, K Murray 0-2, M Jennings, J Buckley 0-1 each.

KILKERRIN-CLONBERNE: L Murphy; C Costello, S Gormally, C Dunleavy; K Mee, N Ward, L Finnegan; S Divilly, H Noone; O Divilly, L Ward, L Noone; E Noone, C Miskell, N Divilly. Subs: A Madden for Miskell (40), M Flanagan for Finnegan (50), Caoimhe Boyle for S Divilly (84).

Cork’s Ciara O’Sullivan is now a five-time winner, and she bridges a five-year gap after winning her fourth award in 2018.

There are four players who featured on the 2022 TG4 All Star team named on this year’s selection, as Mayo’s Danielle Caldwell and Kerry trio Cáit Lynch, Niamh Carmody and Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh receive the prestigious individual accolades once again.
