The 2009 All-Ireland Football Final was the 122nd event of its kind. Played between Cork and Kerry on 20 September 2009 in Croke Park, Dublin, it was the last football match of the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Kerry won by a score of 0-16 to 1-09. It was their 36th All-Ireland SFC title,〔〔〔〔 reaffirming their status as Gaelic football's most successful county. In playing for the winning team, Tadhg Kennelly became the first person to ever hold AFL Premiership and All-Ireland winning medals in the sports of Australian rules football and Gaelic football—he previously won the biggest prize in Australian rules with Sydney Swans in 2005.〔〔〔 Kennelly's former coach Paul Roos and some of his former Sydney team-mates attended the game.〔 The game was also attended by international guests of the Global Irish Economic Forum which was taking place in Dublin on the same weekend. The 2009 All-Ireland SFC Final was broadcast live on RTÉ Two and RTÉ.ie in Ireland and worldwide on RTÉ Radio 1, with match highlights being shown on ''The Sunday Game'' on RTÉ Two and RTÉ.ie that night.〔〔〔〔 RTÉ's coverage for the first time ever involved live pictures of its legendary broadcaster Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh's commentary as given to RTÉ Radio 1 during the match; he appeared on ''The Late Late Show'' to discuss this with Ryan Tubridy. ==History== The ''Irish Independent'' described Cork versus Kerry as "Gaelic football's busiest rivalry over the last two decades", and that going into the final it may be at its "most explosive", with eight sendings off during games between the teams in the past two years and 35 yellow cards since July 2008. On the day of the final, the ''Sunday Independent''s Ralph Riegel described it as "a rivalry that traces its roots back to the old cross-border cattle raids of the ancient Gaelic clans". Both Martin Breheny in the ''Irish Independent'' and Colm O'Connor in the ''Irish Examiner'' noted that the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final would be the 19th meeting between the sides in the championship during the 2000s—with Breheny adding that their previous 19 meetings stretched back to 1982. It was Kerry's sixth consecutive All-Ireland Final. It was also their eighth final of the decade, an all-time record. By winning the final they achieved five All-Ireland Senior Football Championship titles during the 2000s, matching their own efforts in the 1930s and the 1980s. Cork and Kerry previously met in the 2007 final, with Kerry winning by a ten-point margin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
