Kerry and Dublin - Their Last Final in 1985

16 Sep 2011

Well they are just days away from their head to head in the 2011 All Ireland Football Final. Hard to believe that the last time they met in the final was 26 years ago in 1985 and on that day Kerry came out tops again having also beaten Dublin in the previous years final.
In the 1985 final Kerry were well in command with a 9 point advantage at one stage. But Dublin fought back hard in the second half and what seemed like another esay title for Kerry turned in to a real thriller and just a few minutes from the end Dublin were just 2 points down. But Kerry weathered the storm and it was they who scored the last 2 points.
The Final score in 1985 Kerry 2-12 : Dublin 2-08
