Three-in-a-row chasing Tyrone will face Kerry in the All-Ireland Gaelic Masters Mick Loftus Cup final following their respective wins over Dublin and Galway on Saturday.

In a repeat of the last two All-Ireland finals at Kingspan Breffni, Tyrone enjoyed a surprisingly comfortable 2-10 to 0-3 victory over Dublin. The Red Hands had one foot in the final when they led by 1-6 to 0-0 at half-time thanks to 25th minute goal from Niall Gormley and points from Gormley, former Fermanagh All-Star Marty McGrath, Michael Anderson, Martin Grimes and Damien Kelly.

There was no respite for the Dubs after the restart when Karol McQuade grabbed a second Tyrone major, while Eoghan Bradley, Grimes and McGrath added points. Dublin had to wait until the 41st minute for their opening score from Brendan McManamon.

In the other semi-final, Kerry defeated Galway by 0-12 to 0-7 to set up a final showdown with the holders in just under three weeks’ time.
