This is the biggest winning margin in an AISFC final since 2007 (also 10) and the 19th ever final match to have a 10pt+ winning margin.

Rules I like and other musings: Solo-and-Go: great Kickout Arc: great Two-pointers: no Hooter: no Want: Backfield rule of some sort. Gavin talking about halfway, but I have heard others saying any line passed. Third-man tackle rule (is it there and not implemented?) Do not

Kerry had passed Donegal's final total by the 42nd minute of the game. It's the earliest this has happened since 2007 (39th min).

This year's All Ireland senior hurling & football finals were won by 15 and 10 points respectively. It's the first time since 1936 that the two finals have had 10+ points margins of victory in the same year.

Leitrim Gaels have become the first new county SFC winners so far this year. They are the first new champion team in the county since 2005. Only 2012 and 2023 have not had new SFC winners across the 32 counties.

I may not have all the finals in yet, but from my records so far, 3/13 SF champions have defended their title (23%). So far, it's the lowest defence rate since 2021 (21%).

St Johns have won their first Antrim SHC in 52 years, setting a new record in the county for gaps between wins. The previous record in the county was 35 years (Mitchels, 1912-1947).

With 10 county SHC finals left to be decided, only four Roll of Honour table toppers, so far, have won this year's titles. If it stays at four, it would be the lowest since 1966 (also 4).
