Time and TV info for Tyrone v Kerry All-Ireland minor football final today
The game is sandwiched between two other huge Championship meetings between the counties.
Tyrone are already one-nil up following their semi-final win over the Kingdom at the U20 grade before going on to retain their All-Ireland crown with victory over Louth in the final.
Next weekend, the seniors of Kerry and Tyrone go head-to-head at Croke Park for a place in the All-Ireland SFC final later this month.
There are some who feel today's minor final would have served as the perfect curtain-raiser for that game, but the date has already given the Red Hands one major headache with continued doubts over the availability of star forward Joel Kerr.
The Rock clubman signed a contract to join Premier League outfit West Ham from Glentoran earlier this year and his three-year term was due to start on July 1 and Tyrone have been engaged with talks with the London side to try to come to a resolution that will allow him to line out in today's game.
Gerard Donnelly's side defeated Cork in the quarter-finals before overcoming Roscommon in the last four while Kerry got the better of Cavan in quarters before edging out Mayo last time out.
Here's all the information you need to know ahead of the All-Ireland MFC final. . .

'The feeling never gets old, it's as good as ever' - Tipperary stalwart Noel McGrath
TIPPERARY STALWART NOEL McGrath was relishing a return to the All-Ireland hurling final in a brilliant post-match interview yesterday. The Premier county defeated Kilkenny to reach their first final since 2019. There was some uncertainty after the game over the final score with the GAA set to investigate after confirming it as 4-20 to 0-30. A McGrath shot in the 70th minute was at the centre of the confusion, waved wide by an umpire but added to Tipperary's scoreboard tally, 4-21. Kilkenny then chased a goal, rather than points. The issue wasn't raised on RTÉ immediately after the final whistle, as McGrath celebrated jubilantly before joining former manager Liam Sheedy, Jackie Tyrrell, Ursula Jacob and Joanne Cantwell on The Sunday Game. Tipperary's Noel McGrath joins The Sunday Game panel in the aftermath of his side's dramatic All-Ireland SHC semi-final victory over Kilkenny. — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) July 6, 2025 'The feeling never gets old, it's as good as ever,' he said. 'It's hard to put into words at the moment, it's just after happening. 'That initial feeling will never get old for anyone when you're not playing, never mind when you are playing. It's such a great feeling. We'll enjoy it now for the next few hours. Advertisement 'I don't know what to say, the game ebbed and flowed. It was very like the '19 semi-final, a man down but we dug in. And Jesus Oisin's goal was unbelievable, what a finish!' McGrath went on to analyse the game, offering on-field insights on Darragh McCarthy's red card, O'Donoghue's 69th-minute goal, and Robert Doyle's last-ditch block. 'I would have got to it!' he quipped, hailing several of his team-mates including his brother, John. The Loughmore-Castleiney man, who came off the bench in the 50th minute, lauded the young talent in Liam Cahill's squad. 'They bring a freshness. When new lads come in, I won't say they don't care, but that care-free attitude… When I came in, you have that as well. When you get older, it just gets different. Them lads just want to play hurling. They're out hitting balls before I'm even at training some nights. Brothers in arms: McGrath siblings Noel, Brian and John celebrate at the final whistle. James Crombie / INPHO James Crombie / INPHO / INPHO 'Some of the performances there today were like lads that had been up here loads and loads of times. Some of them have never even been in Croke Park, let alone played up here… 'There's four, five, six lads playing today that didn't play last year. That has pushed us on. It's like anything: once you get a few results, confidence just builds and there's a pep in your step going to training and matches. It just gives you that confidence and energy. Maybe we were only a few percent off last year. 'It's working. It's working so far. We still have no trophy on the table, you know what I mean? We're in an All-Ireland final. You have to just f***ing go in — sorry. You have to go in and talk about it, enjoy that now inside and then get ready for a few weeks time.' Cork booked their All-Ireland final return with an emphatic win over Dublin on Saturday, and McGrath continued: 'That's some experience there today. Even coming in before the match and the crowds on the streets, that's something new for a lot of lads. 'That experience will help and it will be even bigger in a few weeks time. There will be a sea of blue and gold and a sea of red everywhere. 'That's why you play. Why else? We're sitting at home for the last five or six years watching those days. To be involved in it now is exactly where we want to be.' 🔥 The Premier power into the All-Ireland final after a semi-final for the ages!@TipperaryGAA #KILVTIP — The GAA (@officialgaa) July 6, 2025 Three-time All-Ireland winner and All-Star McGrath also spoke about his different role as an impact substitute as a lengthy interview drew to a close. 'Look, everybody wants to play. There's no point in saying they don't. There's 38 lads on our panel and I'm no different. You do what you're asked to do. If Liam wants me for 70 minutes or 10 minutes, I'll be ready to do that. 'I'm delighted to be able to give whatever I can when I can. Coming in, the boys have a lot of the hard shift done, the play is a bit different, you just come in and do what you have to do. 'I'm 34 years of age, to be out here in Croke Park is unbelievable. I love every minute of it. As I said before, I'll stay doing it as long as I'm wanted, as long as I'm able and as long as I'm enjoying it. I don't know how you can't enjoy days like today.' *****

Cavan seeking a new manager as Raymond Galligan steps down
THE LATEST MANAGERIAL vacancy has come somewhat unexpectedly in Cavan, where Raymond Galligan has stepped down after two years in charge. An Ulster-winning goalkeeper and captain in 2020, when he also won an All-Star, the Lacken Celtic clubman was a surprise appointment, going straight from the pitch to the sideline when he succeeded Mickey Graham. Advertisement He can be said to have experienced very hard luck in that his ten championship matches were against teams that will be playing division 1 football in 2026. Wins came against Mayo and Monaghan away from home, while they also took Tyrone to extra-time last year. Galligan outlined his reasons to Paul Fitzpatrick in the Anglo-Celt newspaper, saying, 'Unfortunately I have had to step away due to work commitments. ' 'I manage a very busy day centre in Rathfarnham for adults with intellectual disabilities and it has just reached a point where I can't commit myself fully to both roles, especially with all of the travelling involved and family commitments with two small children. 'I want to thank the players, the back room and the county board for all of their efforts and wish them all the very best of luck going forward.' * Check out the latest episode of The42′s GAA Weekly podcast here

Farrell shows his hand while retaining scope for first Test tweaks
'UP THE MIGHTY Brumbies,' said the pilot of this morning's flight into Canberra as he started the descent. It looks like Stephen Larkham's side might need all the well wishes they can get for Wednesday's meeting with the Lions, who are fielding a Test-like team. The pilot had just thanked Joe Schmidt and some of his Wallabies players for being onboard the plane from Newcastle. The Australians broke from camp after Sunday's narrow win over Fiji, getting a few days off before reconvening to build towards the first Lions Test in two weekends. Speaking after his team's 21-18 victory, Schmidt said he was intrigued to see Andy Farrell's Lions selection for this game against the Brumbies. Schmidt's thinking was that it would be a strong indicator of Farrell's plans for the first Test. And so it seems to be. This is the Lions warm-up team that every player surely wanted to be part of. Maybe not at the start of the tour when it looked like the final friendly game against the AUNZ Invitational side on Saturday would be the last Test rehearsal a week out from that clash with the Wallabies in Brisbane. But as things shifted in recent weeks, it started to appear that this Wednesday's meeting with the Brumbies in Canberra was when Farrell would roll out the majority of his Test team for a final tune-up. So it is that likely Test halfbacks Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell return at the heart of a powerful, punchy-looking starting XV that includes eight Irish players. There is still plenty of time for Farrell to change things up, of course. It is far from unforeseeable that someone could play on Saturday against the AUNZ side and then feature in the first Test against the Wallabies a week later. Lions head coach Andy Farrell. Dan Sheridan / INPHO Dan Sheridan / INPHO / INPHO Injury also remains an unfortunate possibility between now and then. Yet it's undeniable that Farrell is viewing this Brumbies game as an important last chance to build more cohesion within the bulk of his first Test team. Advertisement The front row of Ellis Genge, Dan Sheehan, and Tadhg Furlong has a potent look to it – with Andrew Porter, Rónan Kelleher, and Will Stuart in support – while captain Maro Itoje returns in the second row alongside the explosive Joe McCarthy. Jack Conan is the favourite to start the Tests at number eight, while blindside Ollie Chessum and openside Tom Curry get a big chance to stake their claims on either side of him. James Lowe and Tommy Freeman were always fancied to be the Test wings, while Blair Kinghorn has been many people's favourite to start at fullback. That back three will look to combine against the Brumbies. Ireland's Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose make up the all-Irish midfield pairing after Scotland's Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones combined effectively in the centres on Saturday against the Waratahs. There were hopes that one from each of those nations' partnerships might team up for the Tests, but one established pairing makes sense. The advantage appears to be with Aki and Ringrose now. If they combine well with Gibson-Park and Russell, the ball is in their court. It would seem hasty to write off Hugo Keenan, given his sheer class for the past four years. He has been the best fullback in the Lions countries over that time but this tour has been frustrating for him with injury and illness. It surely won't be comfortable watching Kinghorn have a cut on Wednesday. The same is true of Tadhg Beirne, who has played in the second row and at blindside flanker for the Lions in this campaign. Again, his class is beyond question and his performances over the last few years mean he arguably deserves a starting Lions spot, but there is no guarantee right now as McCarthy and Chessum state their claims. This will be Chessum's first appearance at blindside on this tour. 'He's been very impressive,' said Farrell. 'Everyone in the second row has been really competing. This is a different option for us, like we did with Tadhg Beirne as well, so I think there's good competition there. Ollie Chessum starts at blindside flanker. Billy Sitckland / INPHO Billy Sitckland / INPHO / INPHO 'He [Chessum] is a big man. He's obviously a fantastic lineout option, but he moves really well. For big men, sometimes it can be a little bit not as flowing, but he's a rugby player throughout, as in good with the ball in hand, he understands the game. It'll be interesting to see how he goes at six on the weekend.' Welsh flanker Jac Morgan is another in this category, outside this matchday 23 but with one more chance to shine on Saturday against the AUNZ team. Josh van der Flier is only on the bench for Wednesday but he is obviously still in contention for a Test start. It's intriguing that Henry Pollock, another back row, is also among the replacements as Chessums covers the second row. It's also notable that there is no out-and-out cover at inside centre in the matchday 23, even if Ringrose has played there for Ireland in the past. Marcus Smith provides back-up at out-half and fullback, but Mack Hansen provides fullback cover and plays on the wing. A certain Owen Farrell would, of course, deliver 10/12 cover from the bench if needed in the Tests. Head coach Farrell is adamant that everything is still up for grabs despite the Wednesday side having a Test feel to it. 'There is always going to be speculation, but it is up to people to put their best foot forward for a Test spot from now on in with regards to the chance they have got on Wednesday and on Saturday,' said Farrell today in Canberra. 'Players can play themselves in and players can play themselves out, but we are looking for a cohesive team performance and that is what we are trying to achieve.' One person who will be reading into this selection is Schmidt, who clearly feels that this Wednesday team will be similar to the one his Wallabies side face in the first Test. Farrell is always capable of a surprise. Few people expected Jamie Osborne to start at fullback for Ireland last summer in South Africa. Maybe he has something up his sleeve again now. And on the other side of the coin, Farrell believes Schmidt will have a few surprises to spring after holding things back as the Wallabies failed to deliver a 'super hot' performance against Fiji on Sunday. '100%, he wouldn't be showing all of his hand, he will have a few tricks up his sleeve,' said Farrell. Here's hoping for a few late twists and turns on both sides as the first Test looms.
