Masters footballers face Tyrone in All-Ireland semi-final

Wed, 28th August 2019

Dublin's Masters footballers face Tyrone this Saturday in their All-Ireland semi-final in Lacken GAA, Cavan (2.30).

It's a repeat of last year's All-Ireland decider, when the Dubs prevailed while the counties also clashed earlier this summer in the round-robin section of the competition - that duel concluded in a draw, 0-13 to 2-7.

Dublin enjoyed an unbeaten run in their round-robin campaign, finishing off their regulation matches with a 4-17 to 1-8 victory over Kildare last time out in Páirc Uí Mhurchú, Ballyboden.

Dublin's goals came from Ciarán McGuinness, Peter Murtagh, Ciarán Doyle and Johnny McNally.

By the interval Dublin were 1-12 to 0-3 clear with St Peregrine's clubman McGuinness getting the goal following good work by Tommy Brennan.

Dublin won five games and drew one (versus Tyrone) in the league section.

Prior to their victory over the Lilywhites Dublin had overcome Mayo (1-12 to 1-6), Down (5-12 to 0-10), Roscommon (2-17 to 0-9), Laois (3-11 to 3-7) and drew with Tyrone (0-13 to 2-7).
