Homecoming for both men's and women's teams announced
Sunday, September 29th has been earmarked for a joint homecoming for Dublin's champion footballers.
It's after the Dublin ladies senior football squad claimed the All-Ireland yesterday.
They won the Brendan Martin Cup for the third year in a row when they beat Galway 2-03 to 4 points.
A crowd of more than 56,000 defied the wind and rain to turn out for the game at Croke Park.
