Cork’s minors now know exactly where their All-Ireland final will be played.
The GAA confirmed on Tuesday lunchtime that Cedral St Conleth’s Park in Newbridge will host the Electric Ireland All-Ireland MFC decider against Tyrone, the holders, on Sunday week at 2pm.
This Cork team has built its year on steady improvement. Their Munster run set the tone, particularly the two wins over Kerry, which restored belief and underlined the depth of character in the panel. The Rebels won the Munster title for the first time since 2022.
Cork have earned their place in the All-Ireland final with two strong knockout wins.
They first saw off Meath in the quarter-final, producing a composed second-half display to pull clear and secure a deserved victory.
That set up a semi-final meeting with Derry, where Cork delivered one of their most assured performances of the year.
Those back-to-back wins over Meath and Derry have brought them to this stage with confidence and momentum as they prepare for the final against Tyrone.
The Leesiders will look to win the All-Ireland crown for the first time since 2019, when Conor Corbett captained the county to glory.
