Croke Park
Sunday, 26 September
Throw-in: 1330 BST

Kerry minors hope to start a memorable day for the Kingdom at Croke Park on Sunday by beating Tyrone in the All-Ireland Minor decider.

The Kingdom were the last county to claim the All-Ireland senior and minor titles on the same day back in 1980.

Many pundits feel that Sunday's game will be decided by the battle between Kerry full-forward Darren O'Sullivan and Tyrone full-back Paul Marlowe.

Mark Evans' tussle against Martin Murray could also have a big bearing.

Evans hit 1-8 in the quarter-final win over Kildare but was kept reasonably quiet in the semi-final win over Laois so Murray will feel that he is capable of shackling the Kerry forward.

As ever, midfielder could prove crucial with fit-again Shane O'Hagan and Raymond Mulgrew, in particular, facing a tough battle against Brian Moran.

Man-of-the-match in Sunday's final will receive the Cormac McAnallen Memorial Trophy, named in honour of the late Tyrone star who captained Tyrone to the 1998 All-Ireland minor title.
