Tyrone 1-20 Kildare 1-14
Ruairí Canavan scored 1-7 as Tyrone beat Kildare at Carrick-on-Shannon to lift their first All-Ireland title at this grade since they won at under-21 level in 2015.
Canavan struck the game’s opening goal after less than 20 seconds and really came to the fore in the final quarter as he exploited the gaps left by Kildare as they chased the game.
In a blistering opening period, Kildare responded to Canavan’s goal with a major of their own within less than a minute when a well-worked move ended with Eoin Bagnall fisting across the goal to leave Daniel Lynam with a simple tap in.
Ciarán Bogue and Dan Muldoon clipped over nice scores for the Ulster side but Kildare enjoyed their best spell of the game midway through the half.
Niall O’Regan, Dean O’Donoghue and Bagnall scored consecutive points to put them ahead for the only time in the game at 1-4 …
