The 2004 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship Final featured Galway and Dublin. Dublin started the stronger and led by six points after twenty five minutes thanks mainly to points from Angie McNally and Mary Nevin. Galway made some changes that proved crucial.[2] However a Niamh Duggan goal and a point from Annette Clarke kept Galway in touch. At half-time Dublin led with the score at 0–7 to 1–2. In the second half, Galway took charge after Clarke scored their second goal with an assist from Gillian Joyce. Nevin and McNally replied with further points for Dublin while Lisa Cohill and Gillian Joyce kept Galway ahead. 18 year old Edel Concannon's goal eight minutes from time proved to be the decisive score that won the title for Galway.[1][3]
