After delays have led to a fixture clash between club and county, the All-Ireland Junior football final details have been confirmed.

Naomh Padraig, Uisce Caoin of Muff, Donegal, will play An Cheathrú Rua from Galway in the All-Ireland final and fans will be treated to a feast of gaelic games should they feel like sticking around Jones' Road.

The game will take place on Saturday, January 25, with Croke Park already hosting an inter-county double-header on that day.

Dublin’s hurlers will start their season against Antrim, who are now managed by Davy Fitzgerald, and later the Dublin footballers take on recent rivals Mayo as the NFL season gets underway.

The Junior final will throw-in at 3.10pm. The hurling has now been pushed back to 5.15pm and the Dublin v Mayo clash will get underway at 7.30pm.

The GAA have yet to confirm the re-fixture for the All-Ireland Intermediate final between Ballinderry and Crossmolina Deel Rovers.
