Three out of six for Tyrone minors

Tyrone 0-12 Kerry 0-10

The showdown might have come two hours earlier than they would have expected at Croke Park yesterday, but it didn’t change the result.

Sam Maguire may be heading to the south-west again but Tyrone’s annexation of a third All-Ireland minor crown in six years only serves as a timely reminder of the battles still to come between north and south.
