Dublin take on Munster champions Cork this coming Sunday in the All Ireland U14 final.
The 2011 final will take place in Birr GAA club, Co Offaly with a 3:45pm throw in time while Roscommon official Seamus Regan will be the man in charge of this mouth-watering encounter.

The All Ireland U14 title was first played for back in 1990 with Wexford having the distinction of winning the inaugural final versus Mayo. Since its inception Dublin have played in five All Ireland U14 finals winning three, 2004, 2005 and 2007 however  Sundays opponents Cork hold the record of greatest U14 All Ireland crowns having won the U14 title on six occasions 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2009.

Dublin has had an impressive run to the All-Ireland final amassing a tally of 29 goals and 55 points en route to the big game in Birr. However Cork will go into the game on Sunday as favourites owing to their unbelievable score line versus Ulster champions Armagh in their semi-final, Cork 21-29 Armagh 1-02. Cork obviously has a forward line to be reckoned with and Dublin’s defensive will have to be on top of their game.

It is all gearing up to be a lively and thrilling final and we wish all the players and their management team the very best of luck!!
