The 2003 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship Final featured Mayo and Dublin. Mayo defeated Dublin in a low scoring game. Mayo retained the title, winning their fourth final in five years, while Dublin were making their debut appearance. Dublin led 0–4 to 0–2 at half-time. Two minutes from full-time Mayo trailed Dublin by a point. However the match was decided thanks to a late goal from Player of the Match, Diane O'Hora. Cora Staunton dropped a last-minute long range free-kick into the square. The Dublin goalkeeper, Clíodhna O'Connor, failed to gain control of the ball, allowing O'Hora to score. [1][2][3] In July 2003, Aisling McGing, a member of Mayo's 2002 winning team, was killed in a car crash. She was travelling to watch her two sisters, Michelle and Sharon McGing, play for Mayo against Galway in a Connacht Championship game. Just three months later, Michelle and Sharon McGing played for Mayo in the All-Ireland final. [2][4]
