All Tipperary supporters will tune in to the AFLW semi finals and the Grand final too with local involvement guaranteed. 

Former Tipperary Ladies Football stars have made the switch smoothly to a new sport and are now key players for their respective sides. 

Cahir’s Aishling Moloney is one of the key players for the Geelong Cats who are into the final four this weekend.

She scored a goal as well as two behinds and was highly influential in their 50-45 win over the Melbourne Demons at the quarter-final stage of the competition.

Waiting in the semi final is Aishling's former Tipp teammate - Orla O'Dwyer - who plays for the Brisbane Lions. The last two ties between them have been won by the Brisbane side, with Orla starring, and another close encounter is expected.

Tipp native Niamh Martin’s North Melbourne Kangaroos are also in the running at the other side of the draw and have a great shot at being in this year’s final. They play the Adelaide Crows on Sunday at about 4am Irish time. 

The Grand Final and glory beckons for one of the Tipperary legends, but who?
