TYRONE’S DOMINANCE AT U20 football level continues as they marched past Kildare to reach the decider once more after this evening’s Dalata Hotel Group All-Ireland semi-final contest at Kingspan Breffni, Cavan.
Goals in either half from Shea McDermott and Darragh Donaghy propelled Tyrone into the All-Ireland final for the fourth time in five seasons. They have claimed the titles in their previous three final appearances (2022, 2024-25) and will be aiming for a historic three-in-a-row this season.
Tyrone conceded the opening two points of the game but were level at 0-3 apiece after 11 minutes. In a relatively low-scoring contest, McDermott broke through for a superb individual goal before half-time to put Tyrone ahead 1-5 to 0-3.
At the break Tyrone led 1-6 to 0-4 yet Kildare reeled off five points without reply at the start of the second half to draw level.
Conor O’Neill struck a two-pointer for Tyrone in the 43rd minute, Kildare cut the gap to a single point once more, before the crucial second goal arrived courtesy of Donaghy in the 48th minute.
