Electric Ireland, proud sponsor of the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championships, is delighted to unveil the 15 standout performers from the 2025 Minor Football season, as it announces the 2025 Electric Ireland GAA Minor Star Football Team of the Year and the Electric Ireland Minor Star Football Player of the Year. This year’s Minor Football Championship once again delivered a season of captivating drama, exceptional talent and one packed with plenty of minor and major moments as Electric Ireland reflects on their 14th year in partnership with the GAA.
The semi-final stage of the championship saw two enthralling contests: Tyrone, after a quickfire double before the break, kept Roscommon at arm's length to secure their final spot. In the other encounter, Kerry emerged victorious against Mayo, with momentum shifting repeatedly before a late surge from the Kingdom sealed their win. The pinnacle of the season, saw Tyrone claim the title after a hard-fought battle against a formidable Kerry team, edging them out by a single point in the final contest at Cedral St Conleth’s Park.
In this year’s Electric Ireland Minor Star Football Team of the Year, the two finalists, Tyrone and Kerry, dominate the selections, accounting for 13 of the 15 spots. Tyrone players take seven places, reflecting their championship victory, while Kerry has six representatives on the squad. Semi-finalists Roscommon and Mayo each have one player featured on the prestigious panel.
Electric Ireland has also announced Tyrone’s Peter Colton as this year’s Electric Ireland Minor Star Football Player of the Year. The Fintona Pearses clubman was a pivotal figure in Tyrone’s championship success, showcasing exceptional leadership and scoring prowess throughout the campaign. His crucial penalty in the final and his composure in key moments were instrumental in securing the title for Tyrone.
