It s another Cork and Dublin clash
Mayo s Fiona McHale believes that Dublin’s physical defence gives them a slight edge over Cork in this weekend’s All-Ireland football final but she expects a very tight encounter.
Dublin are chasing their fourth consecutive All-Ireland crown against the team they dethroned to kick off their period of dominance.
The Dubs lost three consecutive finals to Cork ahead of their 2017 victory and McHale does not see much between the two teams this time around. [Cork] are probably showing the better form coming into this game, the former Green and Red star said on Morning Ireland.

When Doireann O Sullivan joined the Cork football panel in 2012, she found herself immersed in a high-performing team that knew nothing but success.
That red dominance however has quickly turned blue.
Dublin will renew acquaintances with the Leesiders on Sunday, and it is Mick Bohan’s team who are seeking to lift the Brendan Martin Cup for the fourth successive time.
O’Sullivan acknowledges the team from the capital possess unbelievable footballers and away from the pitch, a bond and healthy respect has been built between the two groups.
