Tyrone are through to their first All-Ireland final in 10 years.

The Red Hands beat ulster rivals, Monaghan, by a point to set up a decider against champions, Dublin, on September 2.

A late Niall Sludden (main picture) goal sealed the win.

Mickey Harte’s side face the huge task of stopping the Dubs from winning a fourth All-Ireland in a row.

Tyrone have never lost a final under Harte but they will be going into the final as underdogs.

Harte said they will need to be at their very best if they are to get anything out of the game.

“It has been an emotional day for us – because we have been trying so hard in the last 10 years to get to this final,” she said.

“So I believe we are capable of beating them but do that we would have to do everything very well to the top of our ability and maybe Dublin will have to be a little bit under par.”
