On Saturday, we saw the Connacht side trounce Louth 3-23 to 0-15 at Croke Park, with Ryan O\u2019Donoghue smashing over 1-11 of that score himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the Yew County\u2019s first All-Ireland final since 2021, and it\u2019s possibly the last opportunity for the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/evoke.ie\/2026\/07\/12\/news\/sport\/aidan-oshea-daughter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aidan O\u2019Shea<\/a>, who is now 36, and Kobe McDonald, the 18-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/extra.ie\/2026\/07\/10\/sport\/conor-mortimer-mayo-kobe-mcdonald\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">phenom<\/a> who is set to move to Australia after next weekend to join St Kilda in the AFL.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3508271.jpg\" alt=\"all-ireland final\" class=\"wp-image-1792510\"  \/>Kobe McDonald celebrates after victory. Pic: Piaras \u00d3 M\u00eddheach\/Sportsfile<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then on Sunday we were given a classic as Kerry and Dublin duked it out once again, this time in the semi instead of a final. And it was Clifford and the reigning champions who came out on top, 2-18 to 0-20.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t without controversy as Dublin felt they had a goal not rewarded after the ball crossed the line and The Kingdom were wrongfully rewarded a goal after a square ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the final has been set and it\u2019s now been decided who will be wearing their green jersey on July 26 at Croke Park, with one side needing to wear a changed kit because of the obvious clash.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3399608.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1792509\"  \/>Diarmuid O\u2019Connor of Mayo during the Allianz Football League Division 1 match against Kerry.
