All Ireland U20 football championship 2025

Louth probably needed more of a lead in the first half - goals borderline against the run of play - but once Tyrone got going thy weren't getting beat. Some fantastic individuals up front and a very solid defense. Devlin obviously a great coach too.

Louth are a decent team regardless.

Was a joy to watch Tyrone tonight.

Mixed it up well with a mix of hard running kickpassing and unbelievable support off the receiver of the kick pass. Along with classy forward play.

Never a 14 point winning margin match however Louth defence was open for goals and Tyrone especially McElholm was clinical 2nd half with 2-3.  Grimes deserved his man of the match award.  Louth will look back on what they missed six two pointer frees kicked wide over the 60 minutes between their goalkeeper and full forward.

Tyrone where streets ahead of Louth.

Did you watch the match on the radio?

Looks like a rout on the scoreline but it was still in the mixer with 6 to go. Great win for Tyrone! By my reckoning it's only the 4th time in history we've gone back to back at this, Sr or minor.

Ach it wasn't really in the mixer with 6 to go, Tyrone were cruising after the burst of scores with about 15 mins left. Tough on Louth who competed well and particularly impressive around the middle. Couple of close things at key times might have kept them in it longer but ultimately Tyrone had a bit more composure throughout the team and too much class in the forwards. Well done to them, a great victory.

Hope to see lots of lads from both sides kicking on and making an impact at senior level.

I'm a bit tipsy but I think Tyrone were the better team clearly. However them two late goal chances Louth had could have changed the game.

Tyrone defo had the better quality especially up front
Was it 5 scores with 1st 5 attacks living of scraps at that stage ?
Won a semifinal and final with no midfield . Takes some doing

It's like the noughties all over again.

[Easttyrone23]

Tyrone's 5-16 all coming from play is one of the craziest stats I've ever seen.

That Louth u20 team have some immense footballers and with the success of their senior team makes an exciting future for Louth.

It's unbelievable to think that some of them Tyrone lads at 19/20 years of age already have multiple all Ireland medals with county/school.

Tyrone fully deserved their win. On the balance of play 5 to 7 point margin would be a better reflection.  14 points separated the sides at the end with how ruthless Tyrone was and Louth far too wasteful. All the Tyrone players talked well after the match all knew they were in tough game regardless of the margin in the end, sounds very competitive at club and schools level and that keep them ticking over for the U20 grade. 

Should be another Ulster winner of this competition next year with the last two U17 All Ireland finals all Ulster finals.

Tyrone's team over the next two years wouldn't stand out as much as the previous 4. Although Conor Devlin, Conor O'Neill and Ruairi McCullagh are still underage which is a good starting block. Derry should be the front runners for the next two seasons.

Tyrone had Ruairi Canavan & McElhom which were massive factors in recent successes
No other county had a forward anywhere near that quality at this level

Tyrone lost once this year when McElhom wasn't playing

[Rossfan]

It was some template for attacking football.
Of course most teams won't have enough players capable of executing such.
That's 3 out of the last 4 u20s won by Tyrone so we can expect them to take another few Sams by 2030.

Derry are indeed the team to watch at this age group for 2026 and 2027.
