All-Ireland MFC semi-final: Tyrone 1-15 Kildare 1-12<\/p>\n

Champions Tyrone <\/a>are through to another All-Ireland MFC final<\/a>, holding on to edge out Kildare <\/a>at Kingspan Breffni.<\/p>\n

The Leinster title-holders\u2019 brave effort fell short as the Ulster lads came strong in the final quarter to pick off the vital scores<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matthew F Daly\u2019s early two-pointer, followed by a Logan O\u2019Connor point, had the holders moving well in the opening stages, but Kildare struck for a Jack Reilly goal in the eighth minute.<\/p>\n

Aidan Tobin shot the Leinster champions <\/a>two ahead, but Tyrone carried a goal threat, and they did get the three-pointer they were pressing for through Conan Canavan in the 14th minute.<\/p>\n

After hitting a rash of wides, Kildare hit a golden spell with four in the space of two minutes, two each from Reilly and Greg Kelly.<\/p>\n

They held a two-point lead as half-time approached, but 0-3 from Brian \u00d3g McGuckin, including a two-pointer, sent the Red Hands in with a 1-8 to 1-7 interval lead.<\/p>\n

Tyrone turned it back in their favour with a Brian Og McGuckin two-pointer, before Matthew J Daly shot them ahead in stoppage time, 1-8 to 1-7 at the break.<\/p>\n

A strong start to the second half saw them add scores <\/a>through Matthew F Daly and McGuckin, but sharpshooter Jack Reilly fired over a brilliant two-pointer to equalise, before firing his side back in front, bringing his tally to 1-6.<\/p>\n

As torrential rain battered Kingspan Breffni, Tyrone went level again through Aodhan Corry, and with Charlie Meenan and Tomas Gallen getting a foothold around the middle, went ahead with scores from Matthew F Daly and Matthew J Daly.<\/p>\n

As the Kildare lads tired in the closing stages, Tyrone tightened their grip on the middle third, with Matthew F Daly still full of running and a constant threat, punching over his sixth point of the evening<\/p>\n
