The All-Ireland minor football championship is down to its semi-finals stage following today’s results in the Tom Markham Cup race.

Defending champions Tyrone made their goals count in a 3-17 to 0-19 win against Galway in Ashbourne, where Brian Óg McGuckin and Matthew Daly (2) hit the net for the Red Hands.

The Ulster champions will now play Kildare on the weekend of June 20/21 after the Lilywhites knocked out Kerry with a 4-12 to 2-13 victory to progress through to the last four.

Jack Reilly’s early goal set the tone for the Leinster champions, who led by 1-11 to 0-5 at half-time, and they’d score three more majors after the change of ends via Cian Keogh (2) and Callum Cowzer to seal their place in the semis.

Munster champions Cork are also into the last four thanks to a 3-19 to 1-12 win against Meath at FBD Semple Stadium in Thurles.

Goalkeeper Rory Twohig starred for the Rebels with 0-9 from play, including two two-pointers, while Eoghan Ahern, Kieran O’Shea and Joe Miskella raised green flags for them in the second-half. 

Cork now get set to play Derry in a fortnight's time after the Oak Leafers saw off Roscommon by 2-12 to 1-9 at Kingspan Breffni this evening.

Rocco Devlin’s late goal (watch it below) put a seal on the victory for Kieran Glackin’s lads as they ousted the Connacht champions in Cavan Town.

Meanwhile, it was also confirmed that Donegal and Louth will square off in the All-Ireland MFC Tier 2 final after respective victories over Down (1-20 to 2-13, AET) and Monaghan (2-16 to 2-13) earlier today.
