O'Neill Kicks Antrim to All-Ireland Junior Title
Galway secured their second All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football title, defeating Kerry 2-07 to 0-12 at Croke Park and ending a 22-year wait for the Brendan Martin Cup.
Two-Goal hero Leanne Coen netted in the 15th and 54th minutes, providing vital momentum for Galway through a tight, defensive contest against the Kingdom.
Drama erupted in stoppage time when Kerry captain Síofra O'Shea's late free dropped into the net, but referee Margaret Farrelly disallowed the goal for a square-ball infringement.
Galway County Council organized a homecoming celebration today at Tuam Stadium, allowing supporters to welcome the team and celebrate the historic result for ladies football in the county.
The 2026 senior decider marked the lowest-scoring final since 2019, with 26,471 spectators witnessing the tense encounter at Croke Park as both defences dominated the contest.
