The young Red Hands will be hoping to go further than the 2011 and 2012 teams who came up short in the final against Cavan.

Under the management of Feargal Logan, Tyrone have moved into the final following victories over Fermanagh and a fancied Armagh team.

Logan and his backroom team, which includes All Ireland winning captains Brian Dooher and Peter Canavan, will have been delighted with last Wednesday night’s display in Breffni Park.

Starting without two of their deadliest forwards in Dromore’s Ruairi Sludden and Killyclogher’s Mark Bradley, Tyrone showed that they’ve plenty of strength in depth as they saw off the Orchard county in fine style.

Donegal however will pose a difficult challenge. They can call on senior panelist Ryan McHugh and much of the team that saw them reach last year’s All Ireland minor final.

The action in Celtic Park, Derry gets underway at 8pm.
