Five-goal Tyrone thriller secures Ulster county back-to-back All-Ireland U20 titles
Tyrone secured back-to-back Dalata Hotel Group All-Ireland U-20 Football Championship titles with a conclusive victory over Louth in the final in Armagh. Leading by two points with 20 minutes to go, the holders went on to score 3-7 in the final third of the game, in contrast to Louth's 0-4. Advertisement While the 14-point margin may have flattered them slightly, there was no denying the stronger team won. Forward Noah Grimes clinched the Man of the Match award with a thrilling 2-6 tally while colleague Eoin McElholm, who struck 0-7 in last year's final win over Kerry, wasn't far behind with his 2-4 haul. There was an impressive late cameo from substitute Shea McDermott who contributed 1-1, helping to seal the Tyrone's eighth title at the grade. Louth's lack of goals came despite three strong chances, while eight wides and a number of score attempts that dropped short proved costly for them. Advertisement The young county team that beat Mayo at the All-Ireland semi-final stage seemed powerless to prevent the game suddenly swinging back in Tyrone's favour.

Noah Grimes and Eoin McElholm star as Tyrone secure back-to-back under-20 titles
All-Ireland under-20 football championship final: Tyrone 5-16 Louth 0-17 This was an evening that red-hot forward duo Noah Grimes and Eoin McElholm will not forget any time soon. Between them, the lethal attacking pair scored 4-10 to help secure back-to-back Dalata Hotel Group All-Ireland under-20 titles for Tyrone. Leading by just two points with 20 minutes to go in a terrific back and forth at Armagh's Athletic Grounds, the holders suddenly hit the afterburners and left Louth with scorch marks. They outscored Louth by 3-7 to 0-4 in that final third of the game and while the 14-point margin may have flattered them slightly, there was no denying their quality. READ MORE Grimes clinched the Man of the Match award with a thrilling 2-6 tally in front of 7,944 while senior talent McElholm was not far behind with his 2-4 haul. There was an impressive late cameo too from substitute Shea McDermott who contributed 1-1, helping to seal the Red Hand County's eighth title at the grade. Louth will kick themselves for failing to score a single goal despite three decent chances over the hour while eight wides and a number of score attempts that dropped short proved costly for them. But they will have no complaints about the result as Tyrone, with seven different scorers and an excellent display from Matthew Quinn, locked down back-to-back titles for the third time in the county's history. Louth, Leinster champions for the first time since 1981, played into a stiff first-half wind but created chance after chance in the opening quarter and will rue their errant kicking in this period. In the first 10 minutes alone, Louth kicked three points but also dropped three more score attempts short and booted another one wide. Two minutes later, another point attempt that dropped short, this time from Adam Gillespie, fell kindly for Tony McDonnell to get a shot away that was saved. The giant fear among the big Louth crowd that made the journey up the M1 was that they'd be made to pay for all the misses. And sure enough Tyrone snatched a goal against the run of play in the 15th minute. Grimes this time cut in from the right beyond Micheal Reid and blasted left-footed to the net. Noah Grimes is on 🔥 for — The GAA (@officialgaa) It tied up the game at 1-2 to 0-5 though Louth kept their foot down and continued to benefit from an aggressive press. Midfielders James Maguire and Sean Callaghan were dominant for Louth initially and a terrific Callaghan two-pointer in the 25th minute left them 0-8 to 1-4 up. Louth, who beat Mayo at the All-Ireland semi-final stage, weren't flattered by the lead but were also powerless to prevent the game suddenly swinging back in Tyrone's favour. Grimes, Ruairi McCullagh and Conor O'Neill added points before a Louth kick-out was intercepted by McElholm who fed Grimes for a second goal. It was a terrific finish as Grimes, unable to bounce the ball a second time after a neat dummy bounce, dropped the ball and finished it soccer style to the net. Tyrone now led 2-7 to 0-8 at half-time and stretched the gap to seven with points from McElholm and Grimes after the restart. Louth got it back to a two-point game when they sandwiched a Tadhg McDonnell two-pointer with a series of singles. Just like the first-half, Louth had opportunities to pull decisively clear but failed to convert 39th and 41st-minute goal chances. This time there was no coming back for Louth who were buried by an avalanche of Tyrone scores between the 40th and 46th minutes. McElholm burst through for two trademark goals, the first in the 43rd minute after Liam Og Mossey's spadework and the second three minutes later after a Conall Sheehy lay-off. Grimes, McElholm and Caolan Donnelly added points in the 2-3 blitz while sub McDermott popped up with a late 1-1. Tyrone: C McGarvey; B Hughes, J Clarke (0-0-1), Conor Devlin; C Donnelly (0-0-1), C Daly, F Nelis; Conan Devlin, C O'Neill (0-0-1); C Sheehy, L Og Mossey, M Quinn; N Grimes (2-0-6), R McCullagh (0-0-2, 1f), E McElholm (2-0-4). Subs: E Donaghy for Sheehy 53 mins, D Donaghy for Mossey 55 mins, S McDermott (1-0-1) for Conan Devlin 58 mins, L Lawn for McCullagh 60 mins.

Louth resist Mayo rally to reach first All-Ireland Under-20 football final
The concept of losing football games is slowly slipping away from Louth's collective memory, as the Wee County once again found their way through a tense and tight battle to make more footballing history. The Dalata Hotel Group 2025 All-Ireland U-20 football final will be a battle between Tyrone, chasing three championship wins at this grade in four years, and Louth, who will be playing their first ever final. After coming through a bear pit of an Ulster championship and overcoming Kerry on their way to the final - expected to be Wednesday 21 May - Tyrone will be the hottest of favourites, but if Louth can show the same threat when running from deep and the same composure in the big moments, they will fancy their chances of one more upset. This contest featured all-out attacking intent for the first half was tense and error-ridden for the third quarter, but the final 15 minutes was a real rollercoaster, with four lead changes before Adam Gillespie fisted over the winning score in the second minute of stoppage time. It took four minutes for the scoring to be opened, but even before Shane Lennon set this contest alight with his perfectly-timed run from deep and his cool finish, the two sides had gone close to raising green flags, with Diarmuid Duffy in particular going close, only to be denied by a superb Tiarnan Markey save. Lennon, who showed plenty of the same traits as his older All-Star brother Craig throughout this game, was only one of several players that looked to use pace and directness to hurt Mayo. Seán Callaghan and James Maguire were strong in the air but they also looked to get forward early and often, with Maguire kicking an excellent first half point, while Tadhg McDonnell and Lennon were sharp from wing back too, hitting one each as Louth went 1-04 to 0-3 ahead. Mayo showed plenty of ability all across the field too, justifying their reputation as pre-match favourites once they settled into the game. Hugh O'Loughlin continued his outstanding form in defence, Seamus Howard plucked several high balls right out of the cloudless sky at midfield and Tom Lydon was their main threat up front, with Colm Lynch, Darragh Beirne and Paul Gilmore also faring well – but they couldn't quite do enough to overcome Louth scoring the only two goals of the game. After scoring four in a row to draw level, Mayo's momentum was brought to a crashing halt when Pearse Grimes-Murphy channelled the spirit of Usain Bolt to leave defenders trailing in his wake in the 26th minute, eating up 40 metres of ground before smashing the ball past David Dolan. Another point for each team left it 2-5 to 0-08 at half-time, and just a single score was added to that tally in the third quarter – and that felt like more of a miss than a hit. It featured Dolan gaining a measure of revenge against Grimes-Murphy as the wing-forward again cut through to leave just the keeper to beat, but Dolan, did brilliantly to parry his effort over the bar. The final quarter couldn't have been more of a contrast, kicked off by Colm Lynch's majestic two-pointer from distance. The same player gave Mayo their first lead when he hoisted another over the bar from 45 metres out, and by that point, it looked like Louth might regret their five third-quarter wides. A huge turnover win from Cormac McKeown set up Tadhg McDonnell for another orange flag in reply, then Darragh Beirne defied the odds when he took a hard hit out on the sideline, needed two minutes of treatment and then brushed himself down to land another skyscraper kick from in front of the terrace. With the sides trading blows, it seemed like a case of who would lead at the right time. James Maguire was fouled for Tiarnan Markey to send over another two-point free, Darragh Beirne levelled the tie again with another clutch point, and the contest ultimately came down to two late chances. The first was an attacking mark from a tricky angle that Josh Carey sent inches wide, and Gillespie's winner, punched over after Tadhg McDonnell opened up the Mayo defence and set up yet another famous score in a year of memorable moments for Louth football. LOUTH: Tiarnan Markey (0-02, 1tpf); Micheál Reid, Keelin Martin, Pádraic Tinnelly; Tadhg McDonnell (0-01), Cormac McKeown, Shane Lennon (1-02); Seán Callaghan, James Maguire (0-01); Conor McGinty, Conor Mac Críosta, Pearse Grimes-Murphy (1-03, 1tp); Adam Gillespie (0-02), Tony McDonnell (0-1), Darragh Dorian. SUBS: Diarmuid Reilly for Mac Críosta (48), Dylan Shevlin for Dorian (53). MAYO: David Dolan; Rio Mortimer, Yousif Coghill, John MacMonagle; Hugh O'Loughlin (0-01), Paul Gilmore (0-01), Colm McHale; Diarmuid Duffy, Seamus Howard; Oisín Cronin, Cathal Keaveney, Colm Lynch (0-04, 2tp); Darragh Beirne (0-04, 1tpf, 0-01f), Niall Hurley (0-02), Tom Lydon (0-05, 0-01f).
