All roads lead to Croke Park. 

Scotland and Louth will go head-to-head in this year’s TG4 All-Ireland junior football championship final at Croke Park on September 27th, after wins over Derry and Lancashire respectively in the semi-finals.

Louth, for their part, stamped their mark on the championship in emphatic fashion in the semi-final against Lancashire with a 6-11 to 2-6 win.

The Wee County had no fear in front of the posts, and kept the pressure on Lancashire throughout to drive to victory.

Meanwhile, Scotland paved their way to Croker with a 1-13 to 2-5 win over Derry in a thriller on Sunday and can now look forward to a final showdown against Louth on the big day.

Derry, who lead by a goal at half time (1-3 to 0-3) just couldn’t keep up with the sharp shooting prowess up front for the Scots, who slotted over a whopping 1-10 in the second half to drive on to victory.

Louth and Scotland will now go head-to-head in the final, and interestingly, the Scottish side will be captained by former Louth star Roseanna Heeney.
