Kerry Defeat Tyrone to Reach All-Ireland Football Final

Kerry secured their place in the 2025 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final after defeating Tyrone 1-20 to 0-17 in the semi-final at Croke Park, with David Clifford scoring a crucial goal. Despite a strong performance from Tyrone's Darragh Canavan, Kerry's dominance, including a first-half lead and consistent scoring, proved decisive. This victory continues Kerry's strong record against Tyrone, having won four of their last five championship encounters, and sets them up to face either Donegal or Meath in the final. Tyrone, under new manager Malachy O'Rourke, had shown promise by reaching the semi-finals for the first time since 2021 and previously ousted Dublin in the quarter-finals. The match was highly anticipated due to the historic rivalry between the teams and their recent successes at various levels, including Tyrone's recent underage titles and Kerry's impressive quarter-final win over reigning champions Armagh. The semi-final was part of a major day of Gaelic football at Croke Park, which also featured the Tailteann Cup final earlier in the day.
