As it happened: Sunday Match Tracker
July 25, 2021
Football took centre stage today, with provincial silverware up for grabs in Connacht and Munster.
In the 2021 Connacht SFC final, holders Mayo locked horns with neighbours Galway at Croke Park. As well as securing the Nestor Cup, the winners also progressed to the All-Ireland semi-finals.
The Munster SFC final was an equally high-stakes derby clash, Kerry hosting arch rivals Cork in Killarney. The Kingdom were gunning for revenge after the Rebels dumped them out of last year s championship.

History came thumping down on Cork in Killarney as an avenging Kerry administered a butchering so severe it has carved its way into the annals.
Until Peter Keane brings his team to the county’s 38th All-Ireland SFC title, there will be unease in the Kingdom but this horrific beating inflicted on the neighbours will go some way to making them forget what happened on November 8, 2020.
