ALL-IRELAND FINAL SHORTS

? Mayo are the first county to reach the All-Ireland final through the qualifiers since 2010 when both Cork and Down qualified via the second chance route.

? Jim Gavin is in his fourth season as Dublin manager, leading them to Leinster titles in 2013-2014-2015-2016 and to the 2013 and 2015 All-Ireland titles. They have also won four successive Allianz League titles. Dublin’s championship record under Gavin reads: Played 23; Won 21, Drew 1, Lost 1. The only defeat was against Donegal in the 2014 All-Ireland semi-final.

? Stephen Rochford is in his first season as Mayo manager but has All-Ireland winning experience, having steered Corofin (Galway) to success in the senior club final last year.

? Dublin are attempting to win the All-Ireland two-in-a-row for the first time since 1976-77.

? Mayo are seeking their first win over Dublin since the 2012 All-Ireland semi-final. The counties have met eight times since then, with Dublin winning six and drawing two. Dublin’s wins were in the 2013 All-Ireland final, the 2015 semi-final replay, the Allianz League in 2013 (twice), 2015 and 2016. The draws were in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final and the 2014 League.

? Dublin beat Mayo by 0-9 to 0-7 in this year’s Allianz League clash in Elverys MacHale Park in early February.

? None of Mayo’s seven opponents in their march to the All-Ireland final were in Division 1 this year. Tyrone, Galway and Fermanagh were in Division 2, Kildare, Westmeath and Tipperary in Division 3 and London in Division 4.

? Conor Lane becomes the first Cork man to referee a senior football All-Ireland final since Michael Collins took charge of Galway v Meath in 2001.
