Better team won in extra time

Tyrone were probably the better and worse team. They should have been more clinical and made a good few silly mistakes. Some boys who look they could be players.

Long time lads.....only the 12 years. Hope everyone is well?

Bang on Hokey, some great potential there coupled with some naivety.

Very good use of the mark as well ..

Great entertainment. Thought Tyrone were a fair bit the better team for majority of the normal time but then conceded a couple of soft goals, second in particular daft, which really lifted Donegal. Donegal went into the extra time with the momentum and were looking good until Tyrone found the net and it shifted again. Fair play to both sides for serving up an excellent contest.

Ref lost control a bit at the end, near enough 6 minutes injury time in a 10 minute half  .

Derry and Donegal was favourites coming into tonights games the unpredictable nature of underage football strikes again.

Tyrone was the better side in normal time yet could have let the win slip through their fingers. The other game a lot more defensive, that style of play brought Cavan success at U21 level so can't blame them for playing to their strengths. Maybe a year too soon for Derry with their 2020 All-Ireland winning minor team still underage next year.

Cavan weren't defensive. Derry brought bodies back to negate the threat of Lovett and so played through the hands.

Dunno why anybody would have Donegal favourites ahead of Tyrone given the sides history in the minor championship in 2019.

Might had something to do with the Leo Murphy cup final result 4 weeks ago (Donegal 2-10 Tyrone 1-06) looks like Tyrone learnt the most from that defeat.

Ref added almost 6 minutes on to the 10 minutes. Ffs!

It happens

How you work out Derry were favourites missing half a forward line. Thought the defensive football was hard to watch for this age group in the Derry v Cavan game.

Far too often I think as strangely 21 and a half minutes of extra time which would be the equivalent doesn't happen very often at the end of a normal match.

Cavan are without their two best players at this level, McEvoy and McGovern. Probably missing 2 more starters through short term injury. Haven't won a game in the minor championship in the last 3 years. Playing a Derry side who started with 11 lads with All Ireland Minor medals. Cavan were 15/8 with PP.  How would Derry not have been favourites?

Agreed.  Both teams more worried about getting bodies back, and not losing possession when they were going forward.  At one stage the Cavan corner back hit a beautiful 30 yard top of the boot pass straight across the field to the other side - The problem for me is he was only 25 yards from goal, why didn't he fecking shoot!

Derry all talk but no trousers as usual!
