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.

Plays like a Canavan with a better hairline

Yeah Daisy's cub. Think he's still minors for club this year? Anyone confirm that?

Tyrone by far the best team. TYRONE SHOULD BAG ANOTHER COUPLE OF ALL IRELANDS BY END OF THE DECADE.

lovely angle of Paul dook at the end. Seen less tyres on a silo

Was about to ask what age he was as he looked very young. 1-1 in a 5 or 6 minute cameo in an all Ireland final ain't half bad.

Daisy was a serious forward but never really fulfilled his potential. Looks like he is one to watch

Quote from: Aaron Boone on May 28, 2025, 08:15:25 PMUnusually the Tyrone squad hasn't many from the main traditional clubs. No Trillick or Carrickmore men, just one from Errigal. Donaghmore have the most representation.

They'd a generational batch in Donaghmore, St Joseph's school won a lot with them through the years including the McLarnon and then went for the MacRory year after with Grimes & co. Back down to B & C grades now. I'm sure the Donaghmore club will have high hopes for these lads at Senior.

I'm. 43 and talk for a living and I couldn't speak half as well as young Grimes there.

What age is Grimes?

Will need a bit of bulking for senior level but he has serious quality.

Captain Obvious · May 28, 2025, 09:02:03 PM

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.

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.

Orior · May 28, 2025, 09:09:07 PM

Well done Tyrone.

Any chance that them boyos will now discover women and drink, and let other counties win?

gallsman · May 28, 2025, 09:10:52 PM

It wasn't in the mixer because Louth didn't take their chances. Even if they had, at the same time Tyrone were missing chances of their own. Could easily have had another 2-3 goals in that second half. Definitely a cut above and a thoroughly well deserved win.

imtommygunn · May 28, 2025, 09:11:40 PM

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.
