Roscommon 1-7 Tyrone 0-12

An assured Dublin side turned on the afterburners at just the right time to see off a difficult Roscommon challenge and win the county’s second U-21 All-Ireland crown in three years.

Roscommon U21 boss Nigel Dineen believes Dublin’s loss is the Rossies’ gain as Fingallians’ Donal Keane faces his native county on Sunday.

Donal Smith’s 45th minute penalty helped Roscommon extinguish Sligo’s challenge in Saturday’s Connacht U21 final at Dr Hyde Park.
