Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog for the 2025 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship final.
Six days before their senior sides do battle in the semi-finals of the Championship, Kerry and Tyrone's minor sides face each other in the minor decider.
Of course this game would have been the perfect curtain raiser ahead of next Saturday's semi-final.
However, the schedule was already in place prior to last week's draw which pitted the Kingdom and the Red Hands together in the last four in the race for the Sam Maguire. Kildare and Limerick will face each other in the Tailteann Cup final prior to that game.
Tyrone defeated Cork in the quarter-finals before overcoming Roscommon in the last four to reach today's final, while Kerry saw off Cavan in quarters before defeating Mayo in the last four.
Throw-in is just under an hour away.

'If Kilkenny don't win it on the field, they ain't going to bring it to the boardroom'
LIAM CAHILL SAYS there was never any possibility of Tipperary's All-Ireland semi-final victory over Kilkenny being retrospectively decided in the boardroom. The Premier boss insisted he had no concerns that the result could come under question after the scoreboard controversy that affected the final moments of the two-point win. 'It's human error, that's the bottom line,' said Cahill. 'A mistake was made, but it had no effect on us or what we wanted to achieve at the end of the day, which was just to get the result. 'Everybody in the GAA, we do our best to try and do things voluntary and keep things as right as we can and, unfortunately, it was just human error. What can be done, only move on.' Advertisement When asked if he had sympathy for Kilkenny's situation, Cahill replied: 'It was out of our control, really. It is unfortunate. 'From the outset, these boys here were just concentrating on getting over the line. Look, you can go into all the ins and outs of it, there were several other passages of play, decisions that work out throughout the 74-plus minutes. 'The reality is that's what big matches like that are made of and you just roll with the punches and you take the hits. 'We know Kilkenny from the start of time are a huge hurling county and I said that afterwards. Like ourselves, if Kilkenny don't win it on the field, they ain't going to bring it to the boardroom, that's for sure. 'That's one thing in Tipperary we were fully 100% sure of. Please God, there will be more encounters into the future where maybe the shoe will be on the other foot.' Cahill said Tipp were going by the scoreboard, although there were some questions over the score. 'For me, we were going on the scoreboard. Through Declan (Laffan) and the lads down the earpiece, there might have been a little query alright. 'But for us, we were playing what was in front of us.' Jake Morris was under the impression the difference was three points, rather than two, towards the end. 'I didn't know what the story was when John Donnelly was hitting that shot. We would have been three up (in my head); but to be honest you don't even think about the score. You are just playing every ball as it comes to you. 'It all happens so quickly but I suppose there was a bit of relief when the ball ended in Bryan O'Meara's path and he carried it out.' On Kilkenny, he added: 'They are a serious, proud hurling county with some serious hurlers. They are a really good team.

It is credit to them that they didn't make as much of a complaint out of it as they could have. 'As Liam said inside, it was a human error. It was unfortunate for them, but it is just the way it goes sometimes. You get the rub of the green sometimes and it fell our way last Sunday.'

Inside David Clifford's life off the GAA pitch
David Clifford will be hoping to make it into his fourth All Ireland Senior Football final after this week's clash with Tyrone in Croke Park. The full forward will be lining out as part of Jack O'Connor's Kerry team on Saturday with hopes that they will secure their place in the final in two weeks time. The 26-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best footballers currently playing, but what honours does he have, and what's his life like off the pitch? David Clifford will be hoping to make it into his fourth All Ireland Senior Football final after this week's clash with Tyrone in Croke Park. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile David Clifford first showed his insane talent after scoring two goals and five points in the Hogan Cup final for his school St Brendan's College in Killarney ten years ago. It was the first title for the club in 24 years after beating St Patrick's College. David joined the Kerry minor team not long after and won back-to-back Munster and All Ireland medals in 2016 and 2017. The next year he made his senior debut and won his first Munster Championship that summer beating both Clare and Cork on the way to victory. Kerry brothers Paudie, left, and David Clifford, and David's son Ógie celebrate with the Sam Maguire Cup in 2022. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile The Fossa footballer was Kerry captain in 2020, the same year he won his first national league title with The Kingdom. Clifford also captained the Kerry team in 2023. Three years later, with a number of Munster titles under his belt, David Clifford won his first All Ireland Senior Football title, scoring eight points against Galway in one day. The following year Kerry lost in the final to Dublin, while in 2024 they were knocked out by Derry in the Quarter-Finals. All roads lead to Croke Park this weekend as the Kerry team take on Tyrone to reclaim a place in the All Ireland finals.

Pic: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile David has been in a relationship with partner Shauna O'Connor since at least 2017, EVOKE reports, adding that social media pictures see the pair fresh-faced at the age of 18 years old. The couple welcomed their first child, Ógie, in 2021 the day after Kerry were beaten in the All Ireland Championships against eventual winners Tyrone. David has been in a relationship with partner Shauna O'Connor since at least 2017. Pic: David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile Speaking to RSVP Magazine at the time, the new dad said: 'It's an example of the lows but then the highs you can feel as well but everything is going great so far, thank God.' The Kerry man studied at the Institute of Technology, Tralee (now Munster Technological University Kerry) and got a Masters at the University of Limerick. He currently teaches in his former secondary school, St Brendan's College. David's older brother Paudie also plays for the Kerry county football team with the duo often lining out together. The pair were often proudly supported by their late mother Ellen, who died from cancer in May 2023. Ellen had just turned 60 when she lost her battle. Speaking at her funeral, Paudie said they had 'many great memories' of their mum going to games, noting she had 'passion and commitment for GAA.'
