Masters footballers progress to All-Ireland final

Dublin Masters (over-40) footballers have reached the All-Ireland final following Saturday's 1-19 to 0-17 victory over Tyrone in Lacken GAA, Cavan.

In a repeat of last year's decider, that the Dubs won, Val Andrews' side trailed by a point, 0-9 to 0-10, at the interval before improving in the second half to run out five-point victors in their All-Ireland semi-final.

They will face Donegal in the final (Saturday, September 21, venue tbc) after their 1-11 to 1-10 victory over Roscommon, a repeat of their semi-final of last year which went to a replay.

Last Saturday Ciarán McGuinness' second half goal was the only goal of the game and the evergreen St Peregrine's forward also contributed two points from play.

Dublin's other scorers were Ray Cosgrove (0-5, 0-1f), Niall Crossan (0-5, 0-4f), Tommy Brennan (0-4), Joe Morris (0-2) and Damian Flanagan (0-1).
