Under 20 All Ireland Football final: Kildare v Tyrone throw-in time, TV information, team news, betting odds and more

Kildare and Tyrone face off in what promises to be a cracking finale to the Under 20 Eirgrid All Ireland football championship.

Tyrone got the better of Kerry in the semi-final last weekend, ultimately emerging victorious in a tough game by a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-12.

Kildare had a battle of their own last time out and did well to beat Sligo by five points on a scoreline of 0-12 to 0-7.

The buildup to the game has been marred in controversy surrounding what venue the final should be played in. Despite calls for the game to be played in Croke Park, Leitrim will instead be the venue for this weekend's final.

Here's what you need to know about this weekend's game:

Kildare U20 manager Emmet Bolton:

"It’s a national final between two really good teams who have worked hard to get through their provinces, and we are strongly of the belief that the final should be played at Croke Park," Bolton told RTE Sport.

"These players are going to be footballers of the future and they deserve the spectacle of a final at Croke Park next Saturday and I would say whoever tunes in to watch it would like the game played there too"

"The Tyrone camp and supporters could feel the same.

"Certainly, in Kildare, we believe in the U-20 grade, we believe in what it stands for, and we have worked hard at it.

"Playing the final at Croke Park, what it would represent and what it would mean would centre mostly around the development of players both mentally and physically.

"That experience would definitely help them as they bid to make the step up to the senior ranks.

"These players are going to be footballers of the future and they deserve the spectacle of a final at Croke Park next Saturday and I would say whoever tunes in to watch it would like the game played there too."
