Tipperary stars will feature in AFLW Grand Final in Australia

This Saturday's AFL Women’s (AFLW) Grand Final in Australia will be broadcast live by TG4 for the very first time.

The Brisbane Lions will take on the North Melbourne Kangaroos in what is expected to be a thrilling rematch of last year’s showdown, featuring six outstanding Ladies Gaelic Football stars who have taken the AFLW by storm.

Among the players to watch are household names Vikki Wall from Meath and Orla O'Dwyer from Tipperary, who will line out on opposing sides. Orla O'Dwyer, a standout performer named on the 2022 AFLW All-Australian team, will be pivotal for the Brisbane Lions, while Vikki Wall, in exceptional form with 67 points this season, will be a key player for North Melbourne.

Joining them on the field will be Bláithín Bogue (Fermanagh), Erika O'Shea (Cork), and Niamh Martin (Tipperary) for the North Melbourne Kangaroos, while Jennifer Dunne (Dublin) will bolster the Brisbane Lions, completing a strong Irish contingent.

Niamh Martin of Tipperary has had a good year with the Kangaroos, having featured in nine games throughout the season.
