CORK, TYRONE AND Kildare booked semi-final places today in the Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor football championship.

Munster champions Cork ran out impressive winners over Meath in Semple Stadium by 13 points in their quarter-final tie.

They were inspired by goalkeeper Rory Twohig, who struck 0-9 from placed balls including a trio of two-pointers, while captain Joe Miskella hit 1-3 and Tom Whooley fired 0-4.

Cork were in front 0-13 to 0-3 at half-time with Eoghan Ahern, midfielder Kieran O’Shea, and Miskella all netting in the second half. Harry McGuirk hammered in a second-half goal for Meath, but it could not spark a comeback.

Tyrone recovered from a four-point deficit at half-time to defeat Galway by seven points in Ashbourne.

Galway were ahead 0-15 to 1-8 at half-time, with Brian Óg McGuckin grabbing Tyrone’s goal. Matthew Daly’s goal in the 44th minute provided a major boost for Tyrone, levelling the game at 2-12 to 0-18.

From there Tyrone took charge as they strung together a series of points and Daly’s second goal in injury-time sealed their success.

Leinster champions Kildare marched on to set up a semi-final against Tyrone, handing off Kerry by five points, in their quarter-final tie at the Gaelic Grounds.

Jack Reilly’s goal helped them lead 1-11 to 0-5 at the break, with Cian Keogh netting twice in the second half and Callum Cowzer also raising a green flag. Maidhc Ó Sé and Cillian Moynihan scored the goals in defeat for Kerry.
