All-Ireland football final: what you need to know

Kerry were loaded with potential match-winners, kicking four points and winning an early penalty as Sean O’Shea returned from injury to bolster the attack against Dublin in the semi-final.

Joe O’Connor was key to their win in last year’s final, while Paudie Clifford pulls the strings at centre-forward.

Dylan Geaney has enjoyed a strong campaign but David Clifford remains the mainstay of their attack.

Even in what was considered a quiet day in the semi-finals, the Fossa man still finished with 1-5 to his name and six goals throughout the Championship helped him top the scoring charts going into Sunday’s final.

Mayo’s Ryan O’Donoghue is just five points behind Clifford and is a key element in attack for Andy Moran’s side.

O’Donoghue hit 1-11 in the semi-final win over Louth, but Mayo are not entirely dependent on Belmullet.

Darragh Beirne has impressed this season, but perhaps one of the stories of the Championship has been one of the West’s teenage stars, Kobe Macdonald.

Son of Ciaran, who played in three All-Ireland finals in his own career – all against Kerry – the 18-year-old has burst onto the scene with some outstanding performances, yet Sunday could be a final time in county colors as he departs for an AFL career with St Kilda.
