A round-up of the weekend's Gaelic football club action, as Ballymun Kickhams claimed the Dublin SFC title.

Dublin SFC

Ballymun Kickhams won just their fourth county title, and first since 2012, with a dominant 1-19 to 0-8 win over reigning Leinster champs Ballyboden St Enda's.

A second-quarter surge from the northside club saw them establish a 0-14 to 0-4 lead at the half-way point. From there, they showed enough class to see out the result, with a late Dean Rock penalty sealing a famous victory.

They are through to the final and will face Moycullen, who saw off Tuam Stars 3-14 to 1-15.
