The stage is now set for the three remaining provincial finals, with Kildare set to play in their first ever Leinster Senior Ladies Football final next Sunday against reigning champions Dublin at Croke Park.

Kildare were not in action this weekend but Dublin’s 1-11 to 0-5 win over Meath was enough to guarantee a place in the decider for the Lilywhites by virtue of their head-to-head result against Meath, a 0-12 to 0-8 win earlier in the round-robin stage.

Dublin reached their 13th successive Leinster final with a goal from Caoimhe O’Connor and four points from Jodi Egan helping them on their way to victory at Parnell Park.

Meanwhile, Waterford are back in the Munster final thanks to a 0-12 to 0-8 win over Tipperary and will hope to avenge last year’s final defeat to Kerry this time round.
