Ballyboden and Ballymun set for AFL1 decider

Ballyboden St Enda's and Ballymun Kickhams will look to sign off the year on a winning note when they clash in Tuesday night's Dublin AFL1 final at Parnell Park (7.30).

It has been a year to remember for Boden, who this season are celebrating their 50th anniversary, by winning both the Dublin and Leinster club SFC titles.

Anthony Rainbow's side have gone unbeaten in all competitive matches in 2019 - 14 wins and one draw (against Kilmacud Crokes) in their 15 regulation AFL1 games, their AFL1 semi-final against Lucan, then six Dublin SFC1 victories over Skerries Harps, Lucan Sarsfields and Clontarf (in SFC1 Group 2) before overcoming Na Fianna (after extra-time, quarter-final), St Jude's (semi-final) and Thomas Davis (final) before seeing off Newtown Blues (Louth), Garrycastle (Westmeath) and Eire Og (Carlow) to capture the provincial title for the second time in their history.

In their AFL1 semi-final they defeated Lucan Sarsfields 2-12 to 2-6. Fielding an understrength side they were level at the break before the introduction of the likes of Colm Basquel, Ross McGarry and Robbie McDaid turned the game in their favour with Warren Egan and Conal Keaney both scoring goals in the second half.

Ballymun Kickhams defeated St Vincent's 0-17 to 1-8 in their semi-final after an AFL1 campaign that saw then win ten of their regulation games, drawing with Lucan Sarsfields and losing to Ballinteer St John's, Na Fianna, Kilmacud Crokes and Ballyboden St Enda's.

Tuesday night's finalists meet in the opening round of AFL1 matches back in mid-February when Boden won 2-10 to 0-10 in Páirc Ciceam.
