By Jackie Cahill Dublin will meet Tyrone in the All-Ireland minor ladies football final at Cavan's Breffni Park on Bank Holiday Monday, August 4, a game which will be screened live on TG4. Tyrone booked their place in the final with a 1-9 to 0-8 victory against Monaghan in Kinawley, Fermanagh on Sunday evening. The Red Hands repeated their Ulster final win against the same opposition as senior player Clodagh Poyntz led the way in the scoring stakes with a 1-4 haul. Tyrone led by 0-8 to 0-3 at half time but five unanswered points from the Farney girls after half-time brought them level before Poyntz struck the crucial goal 17 minutes into the second half. Tyrone had goalkeeper Sinéad McVeigh to thank five minutes from time for a penalty save as the Ulster champions held on for the victory. On Saturday, Dublin scored a comprehensive semi-final victory over Mayo in Athlone. The Sky Blues ran out 3-23 to 2-7 winners, having led 1-19 to 1-1 at half-time. Noelle Healy (2-4) and Natalia Hyland (1-4) were Dublin's leading scorers while Mayo's Deirdre Doherty and Sinéad Cafferky scored 1-1 apiece. Tweet
