Siofra O'Shea is hoping Kerry can end their 30-year All-Ireland senior ladies football famine this weekend.

Despite not lifting the Brendan Martin Cup since 1993, the Kingdom sit joint-top of the roll of honour with neighbours Cork on 11 wins each. After losing last year's final to Meath, they now have another opportunity to go clear at the top when they face Dublin in Sunday's All-Ireland decider at Croke Park. 

"It's been 30 years and that's a very long time down in Kerry when you see the success the men have had and the success the ladies had before that," the Kerry skipper told RTÉ.

"You see some of those players around that had success 30 years ago like Mary Jo Curran and Mary Lane and them. They'd be at all our games.

"Geraldine O'Shea is in our management team and has her All-Ireland medal in the back pocket. They're a great inspiration for us, but we've been working for the last four years with our management team and we're trying to write our own bit of history and win for our group"
