More than four months after the first ball was kicked in Gaelic Park, New York, it’s All-Ireland football final day.

For the first time since 1979 the same two counties contest both finals which means that before Donegal and Kerry go head-to-head in a hugely anticipated senior decider at 3.30pm, the minors take centre stage.

Throw-in is at 1.15pm.

22 mins – Caolan McGonagle has a chance to level it for Donegal but it’s left and wide. Kerry keeper Shane Ryan is penalised for taking a short kick-out but his defenders get a hand on the throw ball and scramble it clear.

At the other end, Killian Spillane kicks a beautiful point — that’s his second of the day.

SECOND HALF: We’re back up and running with Kerry attacking a Hill 16 end packed with the green and gold… of Donegal fans.

Kerry 0-9 Donegal 0-6: 33 mins – Kerry sub Jordan Kiely swings over a point to get the second half started. Can Donegal reel Kerry in?

WHAT A CHANCE! Jamie Brennan thunders a shot off the Kerry post. Donegal very nearly level there.

Kerry 0-12 Donegal 0-8: 44 mins – Great work by Liam Carey and Jordan Kiely points. Has Donegal’s chance been and gone?

45 mins – Well played, Shane Ryan! A long Donegal free drops on the edge of his square and he rises above the bodies to fist it to safety.

Donegal sub: Gavin McBride on for Ethan O’Donnell.

Kerry 0-13 Donegal 0-8: 49 mins – Scór den scoth by Liam Carey as they say on TG4.

Kerry 0-14 Donegal 0-8: 50 mins – Kerry keeper Shane Ryan might fancy himself as the next Stephen Cluxton. He points a long free and Donegal need a late miracle here.

Kerry sub: Stephen O’Sullivan for Tomas O Se.

GOAL FOR DONEGAL! Kerry 0-14 Donegal 1-8 (Brennan, 51′) What about that from Donegal? The ball drops over Tom O’Sullivan’s head, Brennan gathers and this time he makes no mistake, finishing across Ryan into the far corner.

Kerry 0-14 Donegal 1-9: 51 mins – Donegal captain Niall Harley points. Game well and truly on, Ger.

SAVE! Donegal should be in front but Ryan gets down brilliantly to deny Lorcan Connor. Too straight from the Donegal lad.

Kerry 0-14 Donegal 1-10: 54 mins – One-point game now, incredibly. McGonagle wins a free and Connor points it!

Incredible athleticism from Donegal keeper Danny Rodgers. Shane Ryan’s free is practically over the bar but he gets up to snatch it and deny his opposite number.

Three minutes to play. Still only a single point in it…

Kerry 0-15 Donegal 1-10: 58 mins – Tom O’Sullivan points to put Kerry two up.

Serious drama here. Kerry win the breaking ball in midfield…

Kerry 0-16 Donegal 1-10: 59 mins – Jordan Kiely points, and that could be crucial. Donegal need a goal now and time’s running out.

Kerry’s Micheal Burns is a worthy Electric Ireland Man of the Match.

Two minutes of stoppage time. It looks to be Kerry’s day!

Kerry 0-17 Donegal 1-10: 60+1 mins – And surely it is Kerry’s day! Killian Spillane puts four between the sides with just over 60 seconds to play.

FULL TIME: Kerry 0-17 Donegal 1-10

KERRY ARE THE 2014 ALL-IRELAND MFC CHAMPIONS!

Superb entertainment and it’s Kerry’s day. They are minor champions for the first time in 20 years!

Man of the match Micheal Burns: “We’ve waited 20 years for this. I knew at the start of the year that this would be the group of lads to bring it back to Kerry.”

So that’s it – congrats to Jack O’Connor and the Kerry minors.
