Kerry just get by Tyrone who often seem to cause them trouble. Darren McCurry outstanding again after coming on, but it wasn't enough.

In the other game, Mayo beat Cork. With a favourable semi-final draw, they might yet get to to lose their 12th All-Ireland final in a row.

Kerry v Dublin

Louth v Mayo

A shock result as Galway beat Cork in the hurling semi-final by 11 points. Well-deserved on their second half performance, as Cork's 20+ years wait for the Liam MacCarthy continues.

A cracking 2nd half from the Galway hurlers today! The final awaits for the tribesmen.

Mayo hammered Louth. Played great football. 75 years awaiting. Therebis a ring to it. Kerry are 1/3 today which seems short
 

[Brazilian Villain]

Kerry 2/5 for the All-Ireland which seems about right. Will Liam and Sam be coming west? I suspect neither will.

Kerry go the rub of the green yesterday between square balls, dodgy penny’s and a tight goal line decision

The hurling final's about to start. Limerick should win, but I'm cheering for Galway. Just hope it's a good game.

Yeah, a very disappointing final for Galway, but Limerick were relentless and showed why they've won so many titles.

My Mayo girlfriend, family and friends are all overly excited for the final this weekend…they genuinely believe it’s their year. Do they actually have a chance this time or should I get the tissues at the ready again?

They've had handy draws and thrashed a poor Louth side, so I can understand why they think the stars are aligning and it's "their year". However logic dictates that it'll be a Kerry win. They're a better team (even if they haven't hit their peak this year), have the experience of winning All-Irelands, and aren't burdened by history. It should be a good game, but I expect Kerry to win by 4 or 5 points, although it may come down to which of the full forward lines functions best on the day.

Up Mayo!
If they win then I confidently predict it's our year for the FA Cup!

Nigel Boyle's at the game as part of the BBC coverage, so there's at least two Villa fans there today.

Kerry settled quickly. Mayo have forgot how to defend.
