Galway are All-Ireland champions after a tense, cagey final at Croke Park — 2-07 to Kerry’s 12 points — but it’s the chaotic, controversial finish that everyone will be talking about.

We relive the final minutes as Kerry think they’ve snatched it at the death, only for the whistle to go and the hooter to sound with Galway still in front.

Stephen Gleeson chats with Olivia Divilly & Kate Slevin & Kerry's Mark Bourke, while Jonathan Higgins catches up with Shauna Hynes, Kate Geraghty, Leanne Coen & firstly, Daniel Moynihan!

Shane Hannon was in studio with Ciara Trant as Galway claimed only their second ever All-Ireland Ladies Senior Football Championship title at Croke Park. Jonathan Higgins joins live to call the final minute of the match as Kerry succumb to a square ball and disallowed goal.

Full-time reaction from Croke Park as Roscommon power past Fermanagh, 2-12 to 5 points, to claim the TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate title — with Aisling Feely’s two first-half goals setting the tone in a dominant performance.

We hear from a delighted Laura Mannion, back in county colours after becoming a mum just seven months ago, on the support, sacrifices and what it means to finally run out in Croker.

Plus post-match thoughts from Roscommon boss Finbarr Egan and the Fermanagh camp on what went right, what didn’t, and what comes next.

Then it’s late drama in the TG4 All-Ireland Junior final as Antrim edge Carlow by a point, 1-13 to 2-9, with Maria O’Neill landing the winner with seconds left.
