The 2024 All-Ireland senior football final between Galway and Kerry is underway.

Both sides will start as per programme.

Kerry overcame Armagh 1-8 to 0-7 at O'Connor Park to book their place in a third straight All-Ireland Ladies Senior final.

It wasn’t a classic – with only three scores total taken in the second half - but Niamh Ni Chonchuir goal on 17 minutes changed the course of the game and ultimately proved crucial.

Kerry will now meet Galway in the decider, after the Connacht side triumphed over Cork with goals from Roisin Lennon and Ailbhe Davoren decisive in a 2-7 to 0-10 victory.

Without their key forward Aimee Mackin, it was always going to be a tough task for Armagh to follow the men's team win the All-Ireland title.

What a remarkable game of football that was as the Leitrim crowd here in Croke Park go wild!
