The manager of the Clare ladies footballers feels his side deserved to get the result to save their status in Division Three of the National League. A draw with Roscommon was enough to see them avoid relegation to the bottom tier, with the Connacht outfit notching a late controversial leveller to earn a share of the spoils. Chloe Moloney netted twice from the penalty spot while Joanna Doohan, Amy Sexton and Caoimhe Cahill also came up with vital late points. Manager Graham Shine says while it was a frustrating campaign, he is pleased to see it finish on a positive note.

Clare's minor ladies footballers have been crowned All Ireland champions. Barry Donnelly's side secured a 1-8 to 0-7 win over reigning champions Sligo in the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence in Bekan, Co Mayo this afternoon. The crucial score, a goal off the boot of Aoibheann Ryan, came just before the half time whistle to give Clare a 1-3 to 0-4 lead as the sides headed for the dressing room. Clare FM analyst Evan Talty says Clare showed immense resilience to grind out the result in the closing stages.
Galway are out of the All-Ireland senior ladies football championship after a heartbreaking semi-final defeat to Dublin in Glenfisk O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday night (19th July 2025). In an enthralling encounter, a Hannah Tyrrell first-half penalty kept Dublin in the hunt, but Andrea Trill, with her first kick of the game, looked to have scored the match winner in normal time, only for Tyrrell to equalise at 0-13 to 1-10 and force extra-time. The Leinster champions edged in front before two second-period goals from Carla Rowe and Kate Sullivan put nine points between them. However, Galway refused to concede as Trill and Olivia Divilly scored late Galway goals, but time eventually ran out. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Tommy Devane and Katelyn Hayes.

Four-time All-Ireland winner Ciara Trant and Team OTB's own Rachel Sheehan joined Ger and Colm on this morning's Off The Ball Breakfast. With the All-Ireland Ladies Senior Football Championship semi-finals to take place this Saturday evening, Ciara and Rachel broke down what we can expect from the two ties: Dublin vs Galway and Kerry vs Meath. The reigning champions Kerry are everyone's favourite to retain the Brendan Martin Cup, but Ciara is still not convinced they're playing like champions... as often as they ought to be, at least! Can Meath catch them this weekend? And in what is Dublin's first season post-Mick Bohan, how does Paul Casey have the team playing? Will they be able to avenge last year's result - Bohan's last game in charge - when Galway knocked Dublin out of the championship?

With the quarter-final draw with the All-Ireland Ladies Senior Football Championship confirmed, Ciara and Rachel assessed which teams are looking best set for a charge through the knockout rounds.
