Tyrone kids ready to land double delight in All-Ireland Under-20 decider, insists boss Paul Devlin
Having won the Ulster Minor Football Championship title on Sunday by beating Cavan in the Final, Tyrone's sights are now firmly fixed on the All-Ireland Under-20 title. That's the prize on offer at the Athletic Grounds, Armagh on Wednesday night (7.30pm) when the Red Hands go toe-to-toe with Louth in what promises to be a compelling decider. Louth may have lived dangerously in booking their place in the Final – they managed to edge out Mayo by a mere point (2-12 to 0-17) at the Semi-Final stage – but this has not impacted their confidence in any way as they focus on Wednesday evening's showdown. Having conquered Kerry in their Semi-Final, Tyrone are raring to go again, and their pace, cohesion and finishing skills look certain to come under the spotlight on the inviting acres of the Athletic Grounds. Tyrone's Ruairi McCullagh jostles with Kerry's Aodhna Ó Beaglaoich during the Red Hands' Semi-Final success Tyrone manager Paul Devlin has watched his side gain in confidence and fluency to such an extent that they relish Wednesday night's contest despite their recent endeavours. 'My lads have been putting in a huge effort and they are ready for the fray,' points out manager Devlin. 'Obviously Louth will be fired up, too, given that the county has won the Leinster Championship for the first time in over 60 years.' While the Tyrone attack has flourished with Ruairi McCullagh and Eoin McElholm particularly prominent, a defence in which Ben Hughes, Joey Clarke and Callum Daly have epitomised rigid defiance has frustrated successive forward divisions. Yet Louth are not without their own beacons of strength. Sean Callaghan and James Maguire more often than not reign supreme at midfield, while Pearse Grimes Murphy, Shane Lennon, Adam Gillespie and Tadhg O'Donnell can form a lethal cutting edge up front. Louth manager Fergal Reel is convinced that the self-belief which has inculcated his side has allowed them to flourish but not to the extent that they stray from their game-plan. Indeed, the team's finishing has served them well to date, although they may find that limitations will be imposed on their creative skills on Wednesday by a Tyrone rearguard that has shown it can subdue opponents. For all that, it promises to be an all-action, supercharged contest between two teams who are keen to write their own particular chapters in GAA history. Read more

Tyrone beat Cavan in Ulster minor final
TYRONE BEAT Cavan 2-11 to 1-8 in this evening's Ulster Minor Football Championship final at Brewster Park, Enniskillen. Gerard Donnelly's side started strongly as they raced into a 0-6 to 0-2 lead in the early stages. Advertisement But Cavan recovered well after a slow start, and Nathan Quigley's goal put them into the lead for the first time on the brink of half-time. Tyrone, however, produced a perfect response early in the second half, as Cathal Farley's goal restored their advantage. It was tight for a period thereafter, with Nathan Quigley's point from a free levelling the scores at 1-8 apiece. But it was to prove Cavan's final score of the game. Tyrone finished much the stronger, with Joel Kerr's goal 11 minutes from time giving them the momentum they needed to see the game out convincingly. The Red Hands will now face Cork in the All-Ireland quarter-finals, while Cavan come up against Kerry.
