Num 11 excellent, equally was the num 14, the amount of assists he was involved in as well as scoring was v high

They won't care however Tyrone should have won that final by 15+ points.  What's with all the number 11 talk? Anyone that has been watching him stand out at minor,schools or U20 this year should know Eoin McElholm name at this stage.

Tyrone should have had that won much earlier but it was impressive that they didn't let the missed opportunities then Kerry's late mini revival get to them. Kept the heads and finished the job. McElhom rightfully getting lots of plaudits but so many excellent players in that team. Plenty hope for Tyrone football for the next few years.

Aaron Boone

Derry wouldn't have been far away from winning it either. It was a very tight Ulster final. They could be counted as the moral champions.

quality.would imagine being drafted into senior panel potential be best 11 since mcguigan.

I think u20 is too soon. Let him play a season of club football and him into set up next year. Class player.

#11 mcElholm is u20 again next season too

Using that logic I'm sure tyrone could have 'won' a few more titles at underage.

Probably won't have long to wait as will likely be favourites to win the 2025 U20 All Ireland.

Had to wait to get out of Ulster to show their footballing ability

Congrats to Tyrone. One of the best U20 teams in a long time. Whatever about Ulster, they were unbeatable outside and Kerry did well to keep it to 6 points. Pure speed and power.

Kerry a lucky team to make the final. Made a very good Tyrone team look even better.

Tyrone have a lot of this years team still underage next year and even the year after.
McAneney, Joey Clarke, Ben Hughes, Conor Devlin (2 years left), Callum Daly, Conor O'Neill (2 years left), Eoin McElholm, Ruairi McCullagh (2 years left) and Callum Daly. So Tyrone will probably be looked at as favourites going into next years competition.

Back to back All Ireland titles hasn't been won at U20/U21 level for over 20 years.

Derry who was probably a year ahead of schedule could easily have taken out Tyrone in the Ulster final a few weeks ago in normal time and extra time.  They'll be stronger next year by adding a lot of their 2022,2023 minors to their U20 panel. One of those minor teams was close to winning the All Ireland and the other won the All Ireland so Derry's U20s should be very strong next year and 2026.

Derry at Under 20 level don't translate from their strong minor teams.Too often the senior team took importance and the U20 team suffered for it. Not playing Murray and McVoy in last years final a prime example. Am convinced they won if they played. McGrogan and Coney few years before that. We go through various managers also, without the steady 3yr manager we got at Minor.

You would expect to see Tyrone being strong at this level with Omagh CBS school dominance. They could have won that game by a lot more and were a much better team. The number 5 is a serious player too.

Derry were very good but I don't think they have that quality of forward in their team.

The Kerry 13 (and 15 too to a lesser degree) were very good players. I'd expect to see one of two of them in the next few years but overall they just weren't as strong.

An entertaining match which was a lot better than a lot of senior games you'd see.
